TY - JOUR A1 - Reis Saroldi, N. T1 - Do We Still Have Anything To Do With the Old Blind Man? JF - International Forum of Psychoanalysis, Oslo (Scandinavian University Press) Vol. 11 (No. 3, September 2002), pp. 209-214. N2 - This paper discusses Freud's theory in the context of the most significant redefinitions in contemporary biology. Freud's ideas in general, as well as his conception of mental illness, were deeply grounded in the paradigm of evolutionist biology, which prevailed during his lifetime. Over the last four decades, another paradigm emerged in this field and became dominant, i.e., the informational paradigm. For this reason, some of the implications of this new paradigm for resignifying Freud's concepts like repetition, death drive and anxiety will be outlined. Y1 - 2002 ER -
