Many psychologists use psychoanalysis the same way many priests use religious stories to provide guidance. It’s a great source of allegories. It’s also prestigious and lets them charge a lot of money, while practicing “floating attention” ie. letting their mind wander while listening and not actually paying attention. Last is that in many countries anyone can pretend to be a psychoanalyst. Lacan famously said “Le psychanalyste ne s'autorise que de lui-même”.
