ABSTRACT
The idea of Brasilia has been successfully turned into marble and stone so that there is a habitation for the people of the city. What is not so clear is how this city is to be adequately and appropriately inhabited, not only now, not only in the past, but also in the future. The fate of Brasilia, and probably the fate of Brazil, is being settled, not by the housing of the population—all that the architects can do is to make it available—but by every single one of the inhabitants. Psycho-analysts have to do a great deal of work In order to be able to express an opinion of what constitutes the mental food that will propagate or make possible mental growth. This is the kind of thing which libraries have done from the beginning of time. A psycho-analyst should not be particularly disturbed because patients cannot stand analysis and leave.
