VIEIRA, Carlos de Almeida. Literature, poetry and psychoanalysis. Rev. bras. psicanál [online]. 2013, vol.47, n.4, pp. 39-43. ISSN 0486-641X.

The author proposes, through this paper, to link literary and poetical experience to the observation and apprehension of the psychic reality in analytical work. Starting withth an interview carried out by this journal with the writer Mia Couto, and adding texts by another author, Jorge Luis Borges, the author emphasizes the importance of the aesthetic-artistic vertex as a foundation of psychoanalytic research. Literature and poets have a lot to teach us, considering that the mental phenomenon, today, is no longer property of psychoanalysis.That is to say, psychoanalysis is one of the vertices of observation and research of psychic reality, of the human experience.

Keywords : literature; psychoanalysis; psychoanalytic study; prose and poetry.
