TANIS, Bernardo. Some observations about the socio-cultural roots of compulsions. Ide (São Paulo) [online]. 2009, vol.32, n.49, pp. 177-191. ISSN 0101-3106.

This paper aims to take a look at possible links between metapsychology, psychoanalytic psychopathology, clinical experience, and culture, taken compulsions as a clinical axis. Mainly aimed at establishing some differences between neurotic compulsions (obsessional neurosis) as described and analyzed by Freud and other compulsions that follow a record dominated by severe disturbances of the processes of symbolization (passage to the act, addictions, bulimia). We observed some correlations between processes of subjectivity in modernity with the obsessional neurosis as well as certain characteristics of a postmodern culture, especially those that seem to affect the processes of dreaming and the path to symbolization in bulimia and additions.
