I forgot a sense allowed for by Jameson. In the passage I've been discussing with Dennis, Jameson, adopting Humpty Dumpty's approach to definition, points out that if we take "irrational" to mean "incomprehensible" so that "rational" means "comprehensible", psychoanalysis, like Becker's "economic approach", can be said to treat human behaviour as everywhere and always "rational".
