OLIVEIRA, Gilsa F. Tarré de. Psychoanalysis' new paths as the clinic of discontent. Estud. pesqui. psicol. [online]. 2008, vol.8, n.1. ISSN 1808-4281.
The discovery of psychoanalysis profoundly altered the frontier between the normal and the pathological in the field of mental health. Considered by Freud as the "science of traces" and very different from the furor sanandi ever more present in the ideological pragmatism of today, the Freudian invention speaks of the unconscious knowledge as homeless knowledge, noting the unrelenting presence of the enigma in our lives. It is undeniable that its presence in the university strengthened the development of psychoanalysis, today already incorporated into the own history of the psychoanalytic movement. On one hand, this positions psychoanalysis in culture and in the political life, including beyond the treatment of the individual, the participation of analysts in the problems linked to mental health in the 21st century. On the other hand, it highlights the specificity of teaching and of the transmission of psychoanalysis that integrates theory, practice and research.
