Incest avoidance and prohibition: psychobiological and cultural factors
This article aims to develop a theoretical discussion about incest prohibition and avoidance, emphasizing the evolutionary mechanisms underlying these phenomena. One argues the existence of endogenous mechanisms that have evolved for inhibiting sexual activity between close relatives and form the basis to regulate the incest prohibition (exogenous mechanism) socially. The Westermarck effect is highlighted, in which the close proximity of persons living together from early childhood triggers sexual intercourse aversion between them. The absence of disposition to incest and its institutional prohibition represent a complex i...

The following evaluation categories were discussed: kinship and affective relationship terminology; division of childcare related tasks;...

Notes on individual and consciousness in Max Horkheimer and Theodor W. Adorno
This article discusses the materialistic bases of the concept of individual and consciousness according to the thinkers Max Horkheimer and Theodor W. Adorno.

Hypochondriacal anxiety and the eternal recurrence of the present: considerations about the film Synecdoche, New York
Resumo A partir de questionamentos levantados pelo filme Sin édoque, New York (2008), pretende-se discutir a articulação da angústia hipocondríaca com a temporalidade. Observa-se que no filme o recurso do flashback não é utilizado; a temporalidade, que se instaura diante da angústia relacionada a sintomas hipocondríacos do personagem, calca-se em um presente absoluto. A hipocondria foi considerada por Freud uma neurose atual e a angústia a ela articulada opera como a contrapartida afetiva do encontro com o desamparo gerado pelo desfacelamento da imagem corporal. Estamos, portanto, diante da face traumática desse...

The local structure in psychoanalysis
This article investigates the efficacy of formal thought in Lacan ’ s psychoanalysis in the form of local structures. In the same way that the structures of structuralism are not met in a single system, the Lacanian mathemes will not be part of a larger structure that organizes it. The creation of mathemes that refer to local structures allows the discussion of contemporary clinic diagnostic questions about, for instance, the universalism of psychoanalysis axioms from the Oedipus complex.

Building the notion symptom: connections between pragmatics and psychoanalysis
This study aims to identify confluences between psychoanalysis and studies on language presented in Austrian philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein ’ s work. In order to do so, one starts from the construction of the notion of symptom, its definition in the medical and psychiatric fields, to its demarcation in the psychoanalytical field, where the symptom is only defined by its relationship with the discursive practices of the subject. When introducing the concept of language-game, Wittgenstein emphasizes the pragmatic aspect of language: the rules of use established in a particular context give meaning to a linguistic expressi...

Crossing the Rubicon: from psychoanalysis to cognitive therapy
In this study we describe some of the reasons that lead Aaron T Beck to move away from psychoanalysis and participate in the creation of cognitive therapy. With this aim in view, we describe the research developed by Beck between 1959 and 1962. In these studies the data that promotes the fall of the psychoanalytic explanatory hypothesis for depression began to be processed. Within this analysis we include some elements that we consider essential to understand this process of change: From Beck ´s obtaining a grant to investigate depression and his starting to work with collaborators like Marvin Hurvich and Sigmour Feshbach...

Psychiatry’s clinical tradition, psychoanalysis and current practices in mental health
Resumo Este artigo aborda a cl ínica da psicose no campo da saúde mental propondo uma retomada de categorias da psiquiatria clássica pela psicanálise, especialmente o automatismo mental. Seu objetivo é demonstrar a utilidade do que pode ser considerado um programa de trabalho para o campo de tratamento da psicose na saúde m ental, polarizado hoje entre o reducionismo biológico e a atenção psicossocial. A riqueza clínica dessas descrições psiquiátricas clássicas, em sua releitura pelo viés da teorização lacaniana, possibilita reconhecer o funcionamento complexo da psicose e, em particular, o trabalho do suj...

The elected representative as an intermediary between the group and the power
Resumo Este artigo investiga a hip ótese de que o sistema democrático como modelo de organização de grupos instituídos tem a função intersubjetiva de manter o vínculo social, ao transferir para o representante eleito o mal-estar da convivência, mas sem permitir ao representante o poder absoluto. O representante ocupa, portan to, a posição de tabu, que mantém o desejo narcísico e onipotente rejeitado entre os membros. Do ponto de vista do representante, significa submeter seu ideal de Eu aos ideais do grupo, num movimento contrário ao do líder descrito por Freud em Psicologia das massas e análise do eu. Essa...
