CALAZANS, Roberto  y  NEVES, Tiago Iwasawa. The range of problems in psychoanalysis and the freudian slips. Psyche (Sao Paulo) [online]. 2008, vol.12, n.23. ISSN 1415-1138.

This article intends to, at a first moment, specify the range of problems of psychoanalysis. We have selected some Lacan’s aphorisms about the relationship of psychoanalysis and science that has allowed us to state that psychoanalysis, since it is a study that originates from the notion of unconsciousness, must be situated in the ethical dimension and not in the scientific dimension. This specification of the range of problems of psychoanalysis - our first thesis -, must not forget to consider that although psychoanalysis is not a science it is logically compatible with it - our second thesis. At a second moment, we use the notion of Freudian slips to demonstrate, from the Freudian text, these two theses.
