ABSTRACT

The different types of individualism that psychoanalysis carries along with it would thus be redistributed. The year 1897 is known by psychoanalysts as the year during which Sigmund Freud abandoned his theory of the trauma and began gradually to replace it with the conception of neurosis based on the role of fantasy. Psychoanalysis participates in the apparatus of sexuality by placing the truth of the subject in the continuous and repressive enunciation of its own sexual desire. Psychoanalysis participates in a discourse that attached the apparatus of sexuality to the apparatus of alliance, allowing a solid combination between public power represented by the social disciplines and the power-form seen in the family. The perspective developed by the Manchester Group of critical psychoanalysis evolves a systematic critique around reification of psychopathology categories, against ideological authority of professional discurse in alliance with therapeutic approach of subjectivity.
