GUIMARAES FILHO, Paulo Duarte. Babel or psychoanalytic semiosphere: which the ways of development of the knowledge in the psychoanalysis?. Rev. bras. psicanál [online]. 2008, vol.42, n.2, pp. 118-127. ISSN 0486-641X.

Initially, we describe our previous studies on the epistemological importance of some clinical and theoretical convergences which have occurred in psychoanalysis, particularly on the issues of transference and counter-transference. We then proceed to examine how the notion of semiosphere, proposed by the russian linguist Iuri Lotman, is a valuable tool for the investigation and representation of aspects of these convergences, as well as of the process through which other ideas are developed in psychoanalysis. We use two examples to illustrate our point. First, by discussing how the concept projective identification, originated in psychoanalysis, can be used to understand findings by Allan Schore in neuroscience. Second, , by examining how Susan Reid, in the opposite direction, departs from psychoanalytical observations about autistic manifestations, which she relates to information from other disciplines about the posttraumatic stress syndrome, to propose the Autistic Postraumatic Developmental Disorder (aptdd).

Keywords : Conceptual research; Theoretical convergences; Transference/contertransference; Projective identification; Semiosphere.
