Abstract

DUNKER, Christian Ingo Lenz. Theory of transformation in psychoanalysis: from the clinic to the politics. Rev. psicol. polít. [online]. 2017, vol.17, n.40, pp. 569-588. ISSN 1519-549X.

In this article we present some elements and conditions for a psychoanalitical theory of transformation. Combining conceptual aspects derived from the notion of causality, determination and indetermination, we claim that the logic encountered in the psychoanalytic experience, understood as cure, therapy and treatment, ne-eds a kind of epistemology of practice. A theory of transformation, conceived in these terms, demands an ethical condition and has a political scope that still needs to be.

Keywords : psychoanalysis; causality; epistemology; politics.
