Psychoanalysis and Social Interface: Brazilian Projects (original) (raw)

2008, Psychoanalysis, Culture & Society

The authors present five projects of the Program for Psychoanalysis and Social Interface of the Brazilian Psychoanalytic Society of Rio de Janeiro (PROPIS/SBPRJ-BRAZIL), developed together with several social institutions and outside the classical psychoanalytical setting. Despite the setting, these projects center on sustaining psychoanalytical rigor in technical innovations. The authors believe that projects such as these can contribute to improving mental health and social links in contemporary society.
