just to be perverse - i'd point out that there has never been as much 
psychoanalytical based counselling, therapy and analysis as there is 
now... and that perhaps in that sense it has never been more accepted.

Paradoxically, because we live in a time when psychoanalysis has largely been replaced by prescription medicine and Freud is considered outdated and passé, my view of Lyotard is that he is an ultimately a Freudian philosopher of sorts, albeit not a therapist.  Clearly, Lyotard is not shy about mentioning his depth to Freud and refers to him frequently in his writings.
