STOLOROW, Robert D.. From mind to world, from drive to affectivity: a phenomenological-contextualist psychoanalytic perspective.Translated byTania Mara Zalcberg. Rev. bras. psicanál [online]. 2011, vol.45, n.2, pp.165-177. ISSN 0486-641X.
This article gives an overview of the evolution of the basic ideas in the author's intersubjective-systems theory, his phenomenological-contextualist psychoanalytic perspective. His framework is phenomenological in that it investigates and illuminates worlds of emotional experience; it is contextualist in that it holds that such organizations of emotional experience always take form within relational or intersubjective contexts. Intersubjective-systems theory entails a move from mind to world and from drive to affectivity.
Keywords : drive; trauma; affectivity; intersubjectivity; phenomenological-contextualistic perspective.
