Psicopatología psicoanalítica: Un saber en la encrucijada

Abstract

In order to clarify the epistemic status of psychoanalytic psychopathology in the framework of Freudian theory, previous questions in the psychopathological field are analyzed, together with their possible relational modalities and with psychoanalysis, clinical psychology and psychiatry. The results highlight the originality of Freud's strategy that, under the name of psychoanalysis, covers a rational discourse on the experience of subjects' discontent. © 2009 Associação Universitária de Pesquisa em Psicopatologia Fundamental/University Association for Research in Fundamental Psychopathology.
