Psychoanalysis of the impulsive character: a linguistic-communicative study
Abstract:
The importance of the mode of communication, the dreams, and the linguistic study of impulsive patients is examined. The significance of the use of the imperative mood, with a rapid evacuation rhythm and good synchronization between the verbal and paraverbal levels is explicated. The obvious linguistic differences between sessions show, together with thematic clues, that it would be possible to predict impulsive discharges, that is, to formulate a predictive theory. The concept is defined, and clinical material is provided to illustrate the concept. A linguistic analysis of the patient's dreams is presented, as well as a thematic approach to the dreams. The ultilization of linguistics in psychoanalysis is systematized, and the verbs used by the patient are listed.
