INTRODUCTORY LESSON TO PSYCHOANALYSIS
Masotta, Oscar
(Prologue, chapters I, II and III.)
Masotta makes an introduction to Psychoanalysis through the use of simple, non-technical terms, but without trivializing its main postulates. He says that it is necessary to go back to Freud, isolating his ideas from post-Freudian developments. Reading Freud from Freud, from the foundations.
Psychoanalysis has a peculiar language, different from everyday language, which occurs with all scientific language. Everything that is said goes within the theory, the specific field of Psychoanalysis.
Psychoanalysis is different from Psychology, fundamentally in terms of the conception of the subject and the articulations that this produces. For Psychology there is a single subject, individual-undivided, and for Psychoanalysis the subject is always divided, and that part of himself that he does not know, his unconscious, is decisive in his constitution.
