TARELHO, Luiz Carlos. Jean Laplanche's theory of generalized seduction and the decentering of human being. J. psicanal. [online]. 2012, vol.45, n.83, pp. 97-107. ISSN 0103-5835.

This essay aims at presenting Jean Laplanche main contributions to Psychoanalysis from a theoretical point of view, as well as from a technical one. We point out that these contributions are not merely related to Laplanche's work as great scholar and translator of the Freudian Works, but also present new perspectives, due to his original thinking. The guideline to this presentation is the movement, in which Laplanche himself would have liked to be situated, which is that of contributing to consolidate the revolution initiated - but not concluded - by Freud, regarding the discovery of the Unconscious, and the decentering it represents. Following this lead, we will see how Laplanche revisits the Freudian Theory of Seduction, reformulates it and makes it possible for us to generalize it. This because, as he understands, the unconscious otherness and the decentering that derives from it can only be sustained by the other-person in the seductive process, and this is conceived as the fundamental anthropological situation. The essay ends with a discussion about Laplanche's contributions in practical aspects, where we can point out his preoccupation in making the theory instrumental, in a way it prevents it from imposing any kind of pre-conceived interpretation to the clinical situation.
