New Psychoanalytic Dimensions: From the Individual to the Institutions - Paperback

by Henrique Scatolin (Author)

In a conjuncture in which psychoanalysis persists and resists the criticism of a paralyzed academy, the book New Psychoanalytic Dimensions: from the individual to the institutions comes to provide the reader a new perspective of human uniqueness, from the micro level to the meso level. But what is there in this book that comes to whet the reading of young readers? So, to answer this question, we will make a little tour from the individual (micro) to the institutional (meso). In this book, when addressing the hysteria, the author could not forget the narcissism and the body image formation. Thus, this book also brings a rereading of the neurologist Paul Schilder, providing a new vision of the body image constitution. If we start by the psychic constitution, we cannot relegate the body image constitution to a second plan. So, from a rereading of the psychoanalytic work of Sigmund Freud, Schilder presents a new vision of the body image constitution. And, among the various manifestations of the personal order and the micro, this book brings three articles dedicated to the individual manifestations in the institutions and how these permeate the intuitional symptomatic logic. So, at this point, we will leave a micro logic and go to a meso logic that I designate as institutional.
