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.

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

Psychoanalysis was introduced in Brazil since 1920 contributing to the appearance of new practices of health care for the child. Therefore, the present article aims to discuss the link between psychoanalysis and practices focused on children's mental health that emerged from the 1930s through the work of Durval Marcondes, a pioneer in the dissemination and use of psychoanalysis in Brazil. A historical research was held from a survey on Durval Marcondes’s work and the team led by him confined in the epigraph theme. It was found from that work that the link between mental hygiene, new school and psychoanalysis developed a pioneering service of care to children with school problems based on the diagnostic evaluation and guidance of parents and teachers. It is concluded that this work introduced the differentiation between children with cognitive and emotional problems and provided the foundations of psychoeducational and psycodiagnostic interventions.

Besides conferring social legitimacy to psychoanalysis, this initiative has enabled the arising of a more comprehensive practice in child psychoanalysis.

A pesquisa teórica em psicanálise: das suas condições e possibilidades

This article is part of the methodological approach concerning theoretical investigation aspects, developed from the analysis of research in Psychoanalysis. Due to its peculiarities, research in Psychoanalysis raises issues and questions which advance far beyond the positivist conceptions which underline the dominant paradigm of our present day production of knowledge. Considering Psychoanalysis as the effect of the psychoanalitic act in itself, mainly when considering its theoretical scientific approach which must be part of a specific method, the following question is raised: what are the real possibilities of research in Psychoanalysis, specifically theoretic al research in Psychoanalysis? The article aims at articulating relevant issues concerning the field of Psychoanalysis and their relevant development for research in this field. To sum up, the article highlights issues concerning the role of the researcher as a necessary and decisive condition for any theoretical research in the field of Psychoanalysis.

Enquadres clínicos, enquadramentos estéticos: arte e psicanálise

This paper aims at establishing a link between the psychoanalytic idea of a clinical setting and the notion of framing in the artistic image. To this end, the reading is based on issues related to clinical care, in the specific sense of a setting, casting itself in artistic creations that challenge the rigid status – when it’s the case – of this setting, and reflecting on the notion of transference, a basic phenomenon in this context. The conclusions refer to a direct approach between the aesthetic experience and psychoanalytic experience.

Desligamentos da crítica: psicanálise e reflexão sobre arte

This paper intends to discuss the relationship between psychoanalysis and aesthetic thinking under the prism of the “unbinding” theory – earlier conceived by the psychoanalyst Andre Green –, linking it to some theories proposed by Hal Foster, art historian and art critic, where we can find the lacanian “real” as the linking concept. One could say, in this linkage made here, that both authors are dealing, in a very particular way, with a question that refers to the theory of the real (as it was conceived by Jacques Lacan), even in the case of Green it is not referred directly; Green’s theory, however, seems to discuss some kind of a regredience that could be linked to the death drive. Accessing the psychoanalytical dispositive, and using it as it is appropriated to the (art) object to be interpreted, Foster, for example, advances in both the field of aesthetic reflection and in the more specific field of psychoanalysis. It should be noted that Foster’s reflection refers strictly to the post-pop images, observed mainly in the 1990’s photography. Thus, I think that this intersection between aesthetics and psychoanalysis might allow us to shed some light on a new art reading possibility towards a “non-applied” psychoanalytical paradigm, which, in my opinion, seems to be an appropriate way to understand some of the contemporary art production.

Relações entre ética e psicanálise

We present, in this essay, considerations about the ethics of Psychoanalysis. We seek to reflect on the possibility of Psychoanalysis serving as a founding element of an ethics. For that, firstly, we will present a few conceptions of ethics and moral and, afterwards; we will make considerations in order to answer the following question: is a psychoanalytic ethics possible?

A psicanálise aplicada ao sintoma: considerações sobre as duas clínicas de jacques lacan

Este artigo discorre sobre a psicanálise aplicada ao sintoma, promovendo uma reflexão sobre as duas clínicas de Jacques Lacan. O trabalho examina o deslocamento operado pelo autor, ao final de seu ensino, do conceito de sintoma, formação do inconsciente, para o conceito de sinthoma, com nova grafia, em um enfoque além do Édipo, ou seja, além do simbólico. Por fim, o estudo teórico destaca como a reformulação do conceito de sintoma possibilitou o surgimento de novas modalidades de intervenção analítica, em uma clínica mais acessível à população. Conclui-se que a tarefa analítica, na atualidade, não consiste em interpretar infinitamente, mas, sim, em sustentar a prontidão para acolher a surpresa.

Tratamentos breves na psicanálise lacaniana: uma revisão sistemática de literatura

The paper outlines the profile of the scientific production about brief treatments based on the Lacanian Psychoanalysis. In order to accomplish this, the research focuses on online journals with free full-text articles written by members of Lacanian Schools listed on the website of the World Psychoanalysis Association. The work analyses studies from 2000 to 2009. In a total of 115 selected documents, the research has identified that online journals from Latin America contributed with 96 (83,47%) works. The literature review indicates that brief treatments are made possible by a construction of a specific mechanism, in which parameters of gratuity and limited time of care are established. However, a key conclusion from this review is that individual interventions with adults from big cities are still predominant.

O lugar da psicanálise e a universidade

As a usual practice in society, psychotherapy is considered a normal procedure, but how does it take place in an investigation method of subjectivity in the university? The theory of speech of Lacan helps us to locate a place to psychoanalysis in the university as a language practice in the role of teaching, research and extension (community work). In this sense, the university submits the ideas of conscience to science and material rationality, excluding the individual and the unconscious. The theory of speech helps us to see the difference between the speech the students use and the speech the annalist uses in his practice. The psychoanalysis has its own knowledge based on the unconscious, due to the clinic work precedes as well as the work in university extension (community work). The work of the annalist has his particular world to treat his mane object — the unconscious.
