The Klein Bottle as a construction method for clinical cases in psychoanalysis

Abstract

This paper proposes a model for clinical cases construction in psychoanalysis based on the topological figure formed by the union of two bands of Moebius, with twists in opposite direction, known as Klein Bottle. It is assumed as elementary condition to characterize a narrative as a clinical case the existence of at least two transformative series and the indications of at most four temporal modalities: narrative time, mythic time, logical time and transference time. It turns out that different forms of narrative tying allow distinguish different constructive strategies.
