About the interpretation in psychoanalysis: Ricoeur, Freud and Lacan

The following article proposes, firstly, to confront Ricoeur's philosophical reading on interpretation in psychoanalysis with some key developments of Freud and Lacan about the subject. Then, the use of this psychoanalitical concept will be demonstrated in the context of the critique of ideologies from the works of slovenian pshilosopher Slavoj Zizek. This way, it will be determined and founded, at least approximately, if the interpretation in psychoanalysis is an exegesis or decoding of the symbol, or if the structure of the analytic discourse requires another approach that does not end in a hermeneutic.
