Abstract

HAUDENSCHILD, Teresa Rocha Leite. Modernism, women and psychoanalysis. Ide (São Paulo) [online]. 2015, vol.38, n.60, pp. 215-235. ISSN 0101-3106.

The author traces the early history of psychoanalysis in São Paulo, and shows how it was interwoven with literature, when in 1926 Durval Marcondes publishes an article in "Klaxon" about literary criticism based on psychoanalysis, which is praised by Freud, who, in 1928, reads the first issue of the Revista Brasileira de Psicanálise (which also includes two articles on literature). In 1936 at Freud's request, Jones invites Adelheid Koch, an associate member of the Berlin Psychoanalytic Institute, to come to Brazil to analyse future analysts. Through interviews with Eleonore (Adelheid's daughter), Virgínia Bicudo, Lygia Amaral and Judith Andreucci, the author recounts the beginnings of psychoanalytical training, when Virginia lies on Adelheid's couch and becomes the first Latin American candidate in October 1937. These brave women, pioneers of the SBPSP, in their vicissitudes, always counted on Durval Marcondes as a steadfast companion.

Keywords : Expressionism; Impressionism; Psychoanalytic training; Modernism.
