The Twenty-First Century: A Century Immune to Psychoanalysis?

<br/><br/> Psychoanalysis is a Freudian invention set in the historical and social context of the nineteenth century. From this paradigm emerged not only prolific theoretical developments, but also a social response. We will briefly summarize these, mainly from a group standpoint. Beginning with the sentence supposedly pronounced by Freud on his arrival in the USA: “They don’t realize that we are bringing them the plague,” we will discuss the consequences of this contagious disease. Psychoanalysis became widely diffused in society and modified its representations, but following this phase of infatuation, it abandoned its superior position as a supreme paradigm. To stay alive, it must therefore develop and discover new paths.
