    Area of Science:

    • Psychoanalysis
    • Social Psychology
    • Systems Theory

    Background:

    • Current psychoanalysis faces a crisis characterized by a solipsistic trend.
    • This trend hinders the acceptance of the 'other' and innovation within the field.
    • Historical precedents, like the integration of Klein's ideas, show that new practices can revitalize psychoanalysis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To address the crisis in psychoanalysis by proposing a new theoretical and clinical framework.
    • To explore the concept of the group as the patient, focusing on the nexus of links.
    • To introduce novel theoretical terms and concepts for understanding intersubjectivity and social dynamics.

    Main Methods:

    • Clinical practice with couples and families, conceptualizing the group as the patient.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Theoretical analysis of the implications of a link-based conception.
  • Introduction and discussion of new terms such as 'imposition,' 'social subject,' and 'multiple subject.'

    • Main Results:

    • A shift from individual-focused to group-focused analysis, where the 'patient' is the network of relationships.
    • Identification of key concepts like alienness, the 'other,' presence, and absence as distinct from object relations.
    • The introduction of novel terminology to articulate a link-based psychoanalytic theory.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed link-based approach offers a way to overcome the current crisis in psychoanalysis.
    • A new form of resistance, 'resistance to linking,' is identified with implications for personality and societal conflicts.
    • This framework provides a novel perspective on phenomena such as ethnic and religious conflict.
