TN. La psychanalyse, à supposer, se trouve. Quand on croit la trouver, c'est elle, à supposer,
qui se trouve. Quand elle trouve, à supposer, elle se trouve--quelque chose.
The double meaning of reflexive verbs in French is being played on here. Se trouver
can mean both to find itself and to be found. Thus, these are three or four statements,
since the third sentence must be read in two ways. The passage from three to four
via irreducible doubleness is a constant theme in Derrida's works. Throughout this
essay, I have given se trouver
in brackets whenever this wordplay occurs.
