DUNKER, Christian Ingo Lenz    RAVANELLO, Tiago. Literary genre and form: considerations about the fictional structure of clinical cases in psychoanalysis. []. , 39, 36, pp.87-102. ISSN 1413-6295.

In the face of the many criticisms aimed at the clinical case reports, either internal or external to the psychoanalytical field, directed at what those reports lack in terms of a scientific methodology of testing, describing and evidencing, imported by psychology from other branches of science, we propose to retake the problem by distinguishing two different approach levels: the examination "in extension" of the literary genre category as a metadiscursive model that brings clinical cases reports close to crime novels; and the examination "in intension", delimitating the literary form that gives a specific structure to the clinical case report, analyzing how it mobilizes discursive properties of that form, and, specially, the strategies of inclusion of the strange related to de clinical practice.
