Abstract

FIGUEIREDO, Luís Claudio. Trust: the experience of confidence in the psychoanalytic treatment and in the cultural space. Rev. bras. psicanál [online]. 2007, vol.41, n.3, pp. 69-87. ISSN 0486-641X.

There are social and psychic conditions that support the process of trust. The problem of trust can be dealt with in the field of the primary object as a condition of mental health. These are the theoretical and clinical contributions made by psychoanalysts like M. Balint, D. Winnicott and A. Green. Another source of knowledge on the theme is the interpretations of contemporary social and cultural life by Anthony Giddens and Anthony Elliot, among others. A special presentation is made of how the process of cure in psychoanalysis faces today the challenge of mistrust in the therapeutic relationship and of how mistrust is present in the diverse elements of the analytic setting in contemporary clinical psychoanalysis.

Keywords : Trust; Mistrust; Risk; Modernity; Balint; Winnicott; Green.
