DUQUE, Francisco de Assis  and  VIANNA, Ana Cristina de Araújo. Psychoanalytic psychopathology: contemporaneous and alterity. Estud. psicanal. [online]. 2014, n.42, pp.53-60. ISSN 0100-3437.

This paper holds a reflection about the studies on psychopathology and its application to the psychoanalytic domain when considering aspects of contemporary subjectivity and alterity. It addresses to the changes in family pattern through history and the influence of these changes over the paternal imago, distinguishing it from the paternal function. It addresses the symptom as an expression of the truth of the unconscious and the paradox of psychoanalytic diagnosis. It discusses the bonding of “weird” with alterity.

Keywords : Psychoanalysis; Psychopathology; Subjectivity; Alterity.
