A Interpretação: Um encontro de Lógicas Infinitas
Abstract
The Interpretation: A Meeting of Infinite Logics
The psychoanalytic interpretation, having as reference the concepts of bi-logic, initially developed by Ignacio Matte-Blanco, leads us to a multiplicity of equivalent interpretations. Although formulated in different ways by analysts, they have in common that they belong to the same propositional class. The interpretation allows us, through translation, to move from symmetry to asymmetry, through symmetry, according to Matte-Blanco. In this article, we start from emotional symmetry to establish differences and similarities in the process of transformation through analysis. Emotional experience is the focus of this analytical work. It is the patient’s capacity to think about his emotional experiences, tolerating psychic pain, that will allow him to reach his truth.
Keywords
