Abstract
ORSINI, Cecilia Maria de Brito. The "excited society" in clinical practice. Rev. bras. psicanál [online]. 2011, vol.45, n.3, pp.19-23. ISSN 0486-641X.
The commentary, based upon the clinical experience of the author, characterizes the dilemma faced by the psychoanalyst, dangerously challenged, as his patient, in a clash between propositions of contemporary life, apparently excludent, that is: which singular solution can be found in order to promote self-development as subject in the confrontation against the strength, seemingly unbeatable, of the "excited society", as unravelled by Christoph Türcke.
Keywords : narcissism; excitement; addiction; contemporary culture; current practice.
