HENSCHEL DE LIMA, Cláudia. The epistemological rupture between psychoanalysis and human sciences at the biological modernity. Psicol. rev. (Belo Horizonte) [online]. 2011, vol.17, n.2, pp.226-239. ISSN 1677-1168.

This article critically examines the epistemological foundations of psychology adopting the perspective of Robert Blanché, Georges Canguilhem, Jean-Claude Milner, Michel Foucault, and the Lacanian axiom (the subject of psychoanalysis is the subject of science) as well. It will emphasize the conditions of emergence of psychology and the clinical orientation in the approach of the subjective experience. It argues that psychology has taken the postulate of psychological realism, in line with a modern biological stream, in order to sustain its scientific status. As a consequence, psychology transformed the relationship between thought and subjective experience, an ethical issue, into a psychological functioning law puzzle, at the cost of suppressing the subject itself. In this sense, psychoanalysis is, as it highlights the meaning of the subversion of the subject, a rupture with the Psychology scientific project

Keywords : Psychoanalysis; subject; psychology; psychological realism.
