Psychoanalysis in Our Modernity

Abstract

Taking into account the presentation of a psychoanalysis concept which, apart from focusing on it as eminently adapted to contemporary requirements, essentially differentiates from the biological psychiatry therapy and from the cognitive and behavioral one. We introduce hereby the reflexivity notion. It can be applied both to characterize modern times in which we live, and to develop our identity and the typical link of the psychoanalytical work as a whole. Hence, psychoanalysis can be conceived as a clinical practice highly appropriate to the treatment of mankind nowadays.
