What is Psychoanalysis Today? A Critique of Psychoanalytic Theory and Clinic from the Philosophical Point of View

In this paper, we seek to draw new lines of demarcation in relation to the debates concerning both Philosophy and Psychoanalysis. Th rough the historical trajectory of the psychoanalytic movement, the reader is shown the importance of disciplinary mixtures. Namely, interdisciplinary dialogues that psychoanalysis in its theory and practice maintained since early times. It is proposed to think Psychoanalysis and Philosophy as a knot that fi nds its usefulness and responsibility in the social and political fi eld. Th at is to say, the mixture and the collision between the conceptual machineries of both fi elds of knowledge contribute to think and analyze the situation of our century.
