Psychoanalysis ignored Fanon for violating its boundary between internal and external reality
Evidence
But the suspicion remains that these shortcomings, if that is what they are, are not the main reason for his neglect. His “original fault” in the eyes of the analytic establishment was that he broke the analytic rule distinguishing the patient’s internal world (which is the domain proper of psychoanalysis) from external social reality (which is supposedly none of its business); he abandoned the analytic epoche for cultural interventionism, and in so far as he did so, he betrayed his true vocation as a “doctor of souls.” — David Theo Goldberg, John Solomos, A Companion to Racial and Ethnic Studies, 1354
