Abstract

DUNKER, Christian Ingo Lenz  and  ASSADI, Tatiana Carvalho. Alienation and separation in interpretative processes of psychoanalysis. Psyche (Sao Paulo) [online]. 2004, vol.8, n.13, pp. 85-100. ISSN 1415-1138.

The following research examines the interpretative processes in psychoanalytical clinics from rhetorical and logical perspectives. It refers to the theory proposed by Lacan (1966) about the importance of the significant and the subject during the interpretation process. It establishes as an issue for further investigating the compatibility that may exist among concepts which define and determine interpretation within the linguistic paradigm, centered around the notions of metaphor and metonymy, as well as within the logical paradigm with its central concepts of alienation and separation. For this purpose we examine a fragment of the clinical case known as “The wolf man” (Freud, 1918), thus demonstrating the convergence between the interpretative and the rhetorical perspectives.

Keywords : Psychoanalysis; Interpretation; Rhetorical; Alienation; Separation.
