NUNES JUNIOR, Ario Borges. The value of secrecy in religion and psychoanalysis. Ide (São Paulo) [online]. 2015, vol.38, n.60, pp.161-174. ISSN 0101-3106.

The aim of this study is to address the issue of secrecy under the religious and the psychoanalytic perspective. In both cases, the promise of the listener to keep the secret enters as a guarantee. However, the confrontation between the two modes reveals antagonistic reactions towards the resistance to verbalization. In the religious sphere, the tool of the confession, is centered in the mandate of revealing everything about the sins, focuses on the revelation, thus, the attention is fixed on the freezing of the forbidden scene which seems to reaffirm the instinctual fiction. Regarding the fundamental rule, the omitted content moves to a secondary role and the attention turns to the refusal of the analyzed to free association, which is, closely linked to the transference and management as well as, somehow, to the inherent gap to the sense of speech and its interpretation.
