Abstract

AVILA, Lazslo A.. Psychoanalysis and neurosciences: drives and the psychosoma. Rev. bras. psicanál [online]. 2019, vol.53, n.2, pp.141-158. ISSN 0486-641X.

The interrelationships between Psychoanalysis and Neurosciences are complex, even contradictory. In the course of their evolution, these two areas of knowledge have at times been brought together, despite having often diverged. In this article we present and discuss a model culled from neuropsychiatry and "imported" for application to the psychoanalytic field-more specifically, for investigating the genesis of psychosomatic symptoms. This is followed by a discussion of selected metapsychological implications of this approach. To this end, the model proposed by Berrios and Marková (1995) will be set against Freud's eminent model of the psychic apparatus described in The Ego and the Id (1923), so as to reintroduce the model and render it more useful, allowing psychoanalysts to reflect on the numerous issues surrounding the dilemmas of the mind-body, or mind-brain, relationship-a crucial question underlying the interlocution between Psychoanalysis and the Neurosciences.

Keywords : psychoanalysis; neurosciences; drive; psychosomatic; psychosoma.
