WHY THE CLINIC AS PARADIGM OF PSYCHOANALYTIC RESEARCH?

Authorship SCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

Abstract:

I defend the hypothesis that the clinic is the paradigm of psychoanalytic research. I go through Freud and Lacan seeking to elucidate the relationship between truth and reality. In Freud, I start from the discussion of the Weltanschauung of psychoanalysis in relation to that of science. In Lacan, I discuss two movements in relation to the truth in his work. I rely on Cantor’s transfinite number to show the construction of truth as a supplement extracted from the impossible to grasp real. I conclude with the presentation of experiences of psychoanalytic research of complex social phenomena.

Keywords:
research; psychoanalysis; Weltanschauung; truth; transfinite
