Not condone something as something else

1. Should the yellow sentence, composed of several clauses, be read as "Abramovic instead of looking to psychoanalytic literature (which has found such mystical experiences suspect since the early days of the appearance of the field of psychic exploration which distincted science from the paranormal) looked to Buddhist philosophical teachings and other spiritualist literature"?

2. Does "although Winnicott would never condone masochistic practice as a way to get there" imply "although Winnicott would never accept masochistic practice as a way to get there"?

Sentence:

Abramovic was using the art space to achieve a liquid knowledge that transcends mind/body divisions and directly apprehends reality. Rather than psychoanalytic literature, which finds such mystical experiences suspect since the split in the early days of psychic exploration between science and the paranormal, Abramovic looked to Buddhist philosophical teachings and other spiritualist literature, although the intensity of her production of the self as an object that withstands use can be productively related to Winnicott’s process of object-usage, although Winnicott would never condone masochistic practice as a way to get there.
