DAGFAL, Alejandro Antonio. 1913-2013: the centennial of Janet's 'Psycho-analysis'. Estud. pesqui. psicol. []. 2013, 13, 1, pp.320-376. ISSN 1808-4281.

This paper deals with Janet's famous critique of psychoanalysis, of 1913. In the first place, it looks into its background, particularly the period 1893-1895, in which the earliest exchanges between Janet and Freud took place. Secondly, it reconstructs the context of that critique: the International congress of Medicine held in London, trying to take into account the place that Janet and Freud occupied at the time in the international sphere. Furthermore, the critique itself is examined in detail, questioning established interpretations on the subject. Finally, an assessment of the impact of that critique is provided, paying attention to its publication, between 1913 and 1915, in cities as different as London, Boston, Paris, Vienna and La Plata. In addition, on a theoretical level, this paper points out the specificity of terms such us "psychological analysis" and "subconscious", that have mistakenly been opposed, in a symmetrical manner, to psychoanalysis and Freudian unconscious.
