HERRMANN, Fabio. Psychoanalysis, science and fiction. J. psicanal. [online]. 2006, vol.39, n.70, pp.55-79. ISSN 0103-5835.
This paper deals with the future of Psychoanalysis, firstly if it will or will not have a future. The discussion points out crucial questions on psychoanalytic survival: technology versus fiction (being Freud a writer), pseudo knowledge and unknown theoretical propositions, clinical extension or shrinkage, and so on. The paper is based on notes and in the text of the introductory chapter of A Psique e o Eu (The Psyche and the Self, Herrmann, 1999).
Keywords : Future of Psychoanalysis; Psychoanalytic epistemology; Interpretative method; Psychoanalysis and fiction.
