Anísio Teixeira e a psicologia: o diálogo com a psicanálise

This paper analyses the ideas and the work of Anísio Teixeira in the first years of the 1930s, focusing his conceptions concerning the value of Psychoanalysis for Educational Reform in Brazil. Whereas the ideas and practices Teixeira should be understood in the historical context in which they were developed, the work presents the history of the introduction of the psychoanalytic knowledge in the Brazilian Renovator Educational Movement, highlighting the relevance of hygienism in the dissemination of Freud's theses in education. The findings indicate that Teixeira interacted with the concepts of Psychoanalysis through the hygienist movement and the ideas of Arthur Ramos, considering the individual as being linked to the social environment.

O corpo: entre o sofrimento e a criatividade

Bodily and gender subjective experiences challenge Psychoanalysis to reconsider its conceptual apparatus and to sustain an ethics which enables a careful and attentive listening. It puts into question the existence of a taboo in relation to the body that would prevent this listening. Bodily interventions and changes observed in transsexuals and transgender people experiences have been the subject of efforts to approximate Psychoanalysis and Queer Theory. We believe that this approximation will bring us the possibility to formulate concepts that might clear up the understanding of these experiences. In order to investigate the status of the body we separate it from gender and sexual norms by choosing three interlocutors: psychiatry - the hormone treatment of adolescent transsexuals; art and biotechnological feminism. This way of considering things allows us to take into account different aspects of deconstruction and reconstruction of the body.

(En)quadros estéticos (artísticos e clínicos) e seus efeitos sensíveis

The text is also concerned to show that the production of these striking effects, happens by the condition of these items (artistic and clinical) are under a frame and therefore conceptualized as aesthetic in this article arguments.

In a preliminary communication, we intend to reflect on thepossibilities of group psychotherapy based on the theory of Lacan. We startedfrom the premise that it could apply to group psychotherapy the sametheoretical basis of individual psychotherapy in which the psychoanalysis ofJacques Lacan is applied, with some modifications. Introducing theoreticalelements and reporting fragments of the practice of caring for a group in thisreference, so that it gives an idea of how this psychotherapeutic group works.The application of Lacan s psychoanalysis to the practice of group therapy hasshown results that seem to justify the continuation of this exercise ofintercession and research, and at the same time seems to allow to the theory ofgroups to cross the boundaries of imaginary. The group practice in thisreference has been shown as effective as individual psychotherapy in the fieldof Psychosocial Care.

Reflexões sobre o estabelecimento de vínculos afetivos interpessoais na atualidade

In studies about the subjectivation process in contemporaneity and the social context in which one is inserted nowadays, the contemporary world is often characterized by the ascension of the narcissism – or individualism – and consumerism as a baseline to all other recent changes. The excessive valorization of aesthetics; the influence of media and marketing and the culture of image; the loss of the “inner side” and inter-human interchanges; against the exacerbation of the superficial and external, appear as essential transformations to the new configuration of the so called “post-modern” subjectivation process, privileged and reinforced by capitalist society. Next to them, exists an individual discontent – a malaise in the individual’s life – usually associated to an interior emptiness and general dissatisfaction in face of idealizations and self-esteem fluctuations. This work tries to understand how individuals establish affective bonds and social relationships in this contemporary context, connecting the contemporary context and relevant concepts to this study, including the idea of romantic love, narcissism and the “state of helplessness” in psychoanalysis, subject’s development and a parallel discussion with social-historical texts. The study, of a theoretical character, is located in the intersection between "individual" and "society" – a subjectivity, therefore, formed internally, within the individual, and submitted directly to social influence – and analyzes the determinants and influences that they exert upon one and another, based on critical-reflective readings and textual analysis of works in the fields of sociology, psychosociology and psychoanalysis.

Merleau-Ponty e a condição do natural em nós

In this paper, the aim is to highlight and analyze certain moments in the work of Merleau-Ponty when discussions took place about the condition of the natural in us. We mainly focus on the observed opposition between the evolutionist viewpoint adopted in The structure of Behavior and the perspective in the Phenomenology of Perception, based on the body as expression. We also look at studies on infantile prematuration and mention the characterization of the human body in the philosopher’s courses on the notion of nature. We underline the expressive dimension of the natural in us, which emerges from Merleau-Ponty’s formulations. In addition, we evidence the importance of psychoanalysis in the Merleau-Ponty’s treatment of the corporeity problem.

Percepção e impercepção: a experiência sensível na tradição fenomenológica

In this paper, we circumscribe a domain of theoretical research on the combination dynamics between the dimensions of presence and absence, visibility and invisibility, which emerges in the phenomenology of perception as an essential trait which marks both our experience of the perceived world and our subjective and intersubjective experience. We prioritize a theoretical axis that integrates Edmund Husserl and Maurice Merleau-Ponty’s thinking into Renaud Barbaras’ recent contributions. To this philosophical framework, we link contributions especially of psychology, outlining the circular movement observed between the phenomenology of perception and phenomenological psychology, Gestalt psychology, psychoanalysis, cognitive sciences and neurosciences.

Lugar do imaginário do ver: diálogos a partir do espelho lacaniano

Lacan’s conception of the mirror stage involves a rich network of theoretical dialogues. Amidst this network, an idea of subject is drawn. The aim of this paper is to examine that idea, not inside Lacan’s work, but in the theoretical framework related to the theme under analysis. We are interested in situating certain methodological and anthropological aspects of the mirror stage in relation to its mediating theories. Our observations are focused on three authors: Wallon, Sartre and Merleau-Ponty. As early as in 1931, the first underlined the importance of the child’s experience in front of the mirror to study his/her psychogenesis. The second is considered a representative of a Cogito philosophy and, therefore, seems to serve as a counter-reference for the psychoanalyst. The third established a relation of mutual dialogue with Lacan, reinforcing the heuristic nature of confrontations between psychoanalysis and phenomenology.

O surgimento das práticas de assistência à saúde mental da criança inspiradas na psicanálise no início do século XX através da obra de Durval Bellegard Marcondes

A clínica dos casos difíceis no imaginário de estudantes de psicologia

In general the imaginary manifestations of psychology students constitute the analytic relationship with the difficult patients by mobilizing feelings of insecurity, distress, anxiety, incapacity and helplessness.
