CARVALHO, Vitor Orquiza de  e  COELHO JUNIOR, Nelson Ernesto. A COMMON POINT BETWEEN THE NATURALISM OF FREUDIAN PSYCHOANALYSIS AND COGNITIVE PSYCHOLOGY: THE IDEA OF PROCESS. Psicol. rev. (Belo Horizonte) [online]. 2021, vol.27, n.2, pp.404-420.  Epub 20-Jan-2025. ISSN 1677-1168.  https://doi.org/10.5752/p.1678-9563.2021v27n2p404-420.

From different perspectives of philosophical naturalism, Freudian Psychoanalysis and Cognitive Psychology claim that their theoretical proposals ought to be considered as Natural Science. Here we argue that a common point identified in these claims may be the use of the notion of process as an ontological commitment. Understanding the mental/psychic phenomenon as process, both theories suggest a conception of mind that does not lose sight of the reference to nature. We discuss Freud’s Trieb and the concept of information in Cognitive Psychology to argue that the scientific aspect of these theories is grounded in an ontological notion of transformation that reveals direct implications for their epistemological fields.
