Abstract

BARROS, Mariana Leal de  and  BAIRRAO, José Francisco Miguel Henriques. Ethnopsychoanalysis: critical foundations on theory and psychotherapeutic practice. Rev. SPAGESP [online]. 2010, vol.11, n.1, pp. 45-54. ISSN 1677-2970.

This research aims to present ethnopsychoanalysis, a scientific area that joins anthropology and psychoanalysis. The paper provides the context for the development of ethnopsychoanalysis throughout the twentieth century, with theoreticians like Géza Róheim and Georges Devereux, who moved between both areas and intended to deepen the debate in theory and therapeutic practice. After that, the current context of ethnopsychoanalysis is presented, addressing the main theoreticians working in this area who contribute to clarify and permit a multidisciplinary dialogue. Furthermore, the importance of discussing the theoretical framework in which ethnopsychoanalysis emerged is highlighted and its current practice, in order to reflect on and provide a context for its applicability in Brazil.

Keywords : Culture; Anthropology; Ethnopsychoanalysis; Cultural Psychology; Ethnopsychology.
