CATTAPAN, Pedro. Enlightenment and romanticism in psychoanalytical training. Psicol. clin. [online]. 2019, vol.31, n.1, pp.167-188. ISSN 0103-5665. https://doi.org/10.33208/PC1980-5438v0031n01A08.
This paper deals with the adoption by the International Psychoanalytical Association (IPA) of the models of training available when the need to qualify a large number of psychoanalists arose in this institution. One proposes that its inspiring modes of training were the modern school from Enlightenment and the Romantic conception of formation. One intends to show the effects and problems of these legacies in the model adopted by IPA by focusing on the constitution of the modern school and on the alternatives to it idealized by the Enlightenment, and also on how Burke's and Goethe's aesthetic theories guided the foundation for a Romantic formation. Finally, it will be shown how the psychoanalitical training tripod carries this hybrid legacy: theoretical courses (as an extension of the modern school), personal analysis (and its legacy of the Romantic "inside-out" formation) and supervised treatment (where both are present, indicating which legacy is stronger in a given training institution).
