Abstract

UNGIER, Aida. For a well temperate psychoanalysis. Rev. bras. psicanál [online]. 2008, vol.42, n.1, pp. 43-51. ISSN 0486-641X.

The author aims to show that the paradigm of psychoanalysis is based on the concept of unconscious, instinct, transference and repetition. Those who have welcomed Freud’s legacy admit, also, that the activity of symbolization represents the sign of human, even if they could disagree about the pathways followed in its conceiving. Winnicott has enlarged the limits of psychoanalytical clinics when he described a space- neither external nor internal, neither me nor not-me, a transition between what’s subjectively conceived and what’s objectively perceived- where one creates the self and the world, domain of the symbolical and source of the culture. For him, our task is built in such space; it’s a game where the subject is thought as a permanent “going on being”. Such conceiving of clinics is especially efficient with psychotic patients or borderlines, patients whose psychic suffering is beyond the Oedipian conflict, reflecting the impossibility of constitution of their own self.

Keywords : Paradigm of psychoanalysis; Symbolization; Playing; Transitional space.
