COELHO, Carolina Marra S.. Psychoanalysis and social bonds: a reading of XVII Seminar. Mental [online]. 2006, vol.4, n.6, pp. 107-121. ISSN 1679-4427.

In this article, the author holds the argument around the forms of social bond proposed by Jacques Lacan in his XVII Seminar, entitled The Underside of Psychoanalysis where Lacan demonstrates the forms of social bonds from his concepts of four discourses: the master, the university, the hysterical and the analyst. Lacan's four discourses has a theoretical and clinical relevance for psychoanalysis because it reveals a new way of thinking the clinical structure and the social bonds, articulating fields of speech and language with the jouissance, the subject and unconscious knowledge. Since psychoanalysis is a praxis that have the clinical enviroment as a motor, it is, then, possible to work the different forms of social bonds and the clinical implications that Lacan proposes in his seminar.

Keywords : Four discourses; Social bond; Psychoanalytic cure.
