FREITAS, Karla Theonila Vidal Maciel. The use of Greek myth narratives as a therapeutic tool in psychoanalysis. Gerais, Rev. Interinst. Psicol. [online]. 2013, vol.6, n.1, pp.90-101. ISSN 1983-8220.

This work talks about what characterizes a narrative from the point of view of Bruner and Ricoeur, pointing out the interpretative and symbolic perspective linking them to the cultural context of individual and to the way that the person can redefine them, developing new meanings, according to psychoanalytic perspective. Therein, one proposes the use of Greek myths as the beginning of reflections that include several common human themes. One does not intend to propose a methodological parameter for the use of the narratives, but rather the appropriation of myth as a starting point for the narrative analysis within the cultural sphere so as to conceive it later in a particular and private space of the subject and his/her history, allowing same to negotiate their own versions

Keywords : Narrative; Psychoanalysis; Greek Myths.
