SOUZA, Thana Mara de. Sartre and existential psychoanalysis: notes on the case Jean G. Nat. hum. []. 2018, 20, 2, pp.90-112. ISSN 1517-2430.
This article intends to understand the notion of existential psychoanalysis, as proposed by Jean-Paul Sartre in The Being and Nothingness, in its relation with the ontological structures of the Being-for-itself and also with the biography about the writer Jean Genet, written by Sartre. We will see that it is about realizing, through a method elaborated in existential psychoanalysis, what the ontology describes, but is itself incapable of realizing: the understanding of a person (Genet, in the case of the article) in his specific relation with the others and with the facticities of the world.
