BARROCAS, Ricardo Lincoln Laranjeira and MARTINS, Osvaldo Costa. The fantasizing in the psychoanalyst's metapsychological work and in the creative writer: similarities and differences. Psicol. rev. (Belo Horizonte) [online]. 2012, vol.18, n.3, pp.458-469. ISSN 1677-1168. https://doi.org/10.5752/P.1678-9563.2012v18n3p458.
We dicuss here, what Freud called "The Metapsychology Fantasize" considering both the metapsychology (his epistemological work par excellence) and the writer’s literary creativity. Some similarities and differences between the two are shown. Both refer to desire. The first one includes speculation associated to both scientific objectivity and rationality. It also differs from an irrationalism drawn on the empowerment of fantasy. Wish fulfillment is not direct here. The second is considered as imaginary, creative and autobiographical. There is a direct wish fulfillment here.
