Abstract

JUNQUEIRA FILHO, Luiz Carlos Uchôa. Clinical levels of apprehension of the emotional organisation: logical, psycho-logical, meta-psycho-logical. J. psicanal. [online]. 2014, vol.47, n.86, pp.21-34. ISSN 0103-5835.

This paper considers the clinical implications of two premises: that Metapsychology is the heart of psychoanalysis, and that any human experience will always have three dimensions - the logical, the psycho-logical and the metapsycho-logical. After a brief practical exposition concerned with each one of these levels, a clinical case is introduced, where the interplay of these levels is depicted. Meta-psycho-logy is conceptualised following a personal vision by the author as "the ensemble of economic efforts held by the psychic to represent emotional experiences through an aesthetic trick, engendering awe and/or astonishment".

Keywords : logical; psycho-logical; meta-psycho-logical.
