Abstract

NEVES, Tiago Iwasawa; LOPES, Aryane Martins  and  MORAES, Thaiz Calais Bertges. Reintroducing the symptom: psychoanalysis as an obstacle to the psychological treatment scientification. Estud. pesqui. psicol. [online]. 2013, vol.13, n.1, pp. 237-253. ISSN 1808-4281.

The article takes up the meaning of the symptom through psychoanalysis, aimed at criticizing the contemporary psychotherapy theories that seek to provide a straightforward treatment goal for the problems of psychic nature. It is from the return to Freud that the symptom acquires a meaning that is intrinsic to the subject's life. This article discusses a case reported by Freud, typical of an obsessive neurosis, in addition to working with the following themes: the paths of symptom development and its relation to repression. From these concepts on, the ethical stance of psychoanalysis is emphasized before the symptoms presented by the subject. We conclude that the psychoanalytic concept of symptoms serve as the epistemological obstacle to the attempt of scientifically addressing the psyche.

Keywords : Psychoanalysis; Symptom; Obstacle; Scientification; Ethics.
