Psychoanalysis and social sciences

This article attempts to research the relations between psychoanalysis and social sciences with a critical sight on the advances concerning the field of psychoanalytical studies related to social subjects as well as that of sociological studies influenced by psychoanalysis, since Freud until nowadays. The article is based specially on the defense of the psychoanalytical approach of the social field, showing that it's not about an inadequate use of the psychoanalysis, but the fact that it's not possible to think in a psychoanalysis outside that field once the constitution of the subject is made exactly by the entrance in the social field.
