SISSON, Nathalia  and  WINOGRAD, Monah. Bachelard and Freud: phenomenotechnique and psychoanalysis. Arq. bras. psicol. [online]. 2012, vol.64, n.3, pp. 146-162. ISSN 1809-5267.

As it is in Freud's thought, the Bachelard's delineation of what constitutes a Science begins with the idea that, to be scientific, any theory must be tied to and dependent on a specific technique that enables the emergence and an the approaching of an object. A scientific object exists only when in close conjunction with a technique that produces it, makes feasible and legitimate its later discovery and ensure the internal consistency of scientific doctrines. The object to be known has its limits defined by the procedure that made it possible. This article aims to investigate how Bachelard makes intelligible the position of Freud and clarifies the relationship between the psychoanalytic technique and theory. We analyze the concept of phenomenotechnique coined by Bachelard, and its relationship to scientific rationality, then we consider the Freudian texts on the production of scientific knowledge in psychoanalysis and check the points where an approximation of the thought of these two authors can be made.

Keywords : Bachelard; Freud; Epistemology; Psychoanalisis; Phenomenotechnique.
