O objetivo deste ensaio é fazer uma breve análise dos aportes de Wilhelm Reich, Erich Fromm e Herbert Marcuse, que de alguma forma contribuíram para a formulação de uma teoria psicanalítica da perversão social. Nesse sentido, percorremos algumas obras dos autores ao analisar conceitos importantes, tais como os de economia sexual, caráter autoritário, princípio de desempenho e dessublimação repressiva, para avaliar até que ponto eles podem ser utilizados como operadores conceituais na análise de alguns fenômenos sociais perversos. O ensaio também apresenta críticas a determinadas soluções propostas pelos autores, mostrando como os caminhos seguidos desembocam em dois modelos de utopia sexual e social.

Marginal comments on the evolution of self psychology response to editors’ follow'up questions

The author describes the psychoanalysis of a female patient who was diagnosed psychiatrically as a paranoid psychotic. The patient reported a history of chronic sexual abuse. The psychopathology and the phases of treatment are considered, with particular reference to the dynamics and content of psychotic ideation and their transference and countertransference implications. In particular, the author points to the qualitative distinctiveness of psychotic thought, which, if mistaken for nonpsychotic thought, can generate confusion leading to impasse. Differentiation of the two levels of mentation and interpretation of their symbolic meaning in the nonpsychotic transference is necessary for the psychotherapy of psychosis to proceed.
The idea that people plan their behavior is considered common sense for most human activities. This commonsense view, however, is not extended to the behavior of the patients in therapy. Patients’ behavior is thought to be governed to some extent by unplanned unconscious forces. In this paper, I challenge that view. I assume that the primary motive of patients in psychotherapy, including psychoanalysis, is to solve their problems by disproving the pathogenic beliefs that underlie them, and it assumes, too, that patients make and carry out plans for solving their problems. Patients’ plans are for testing their pathogenic beliefs with the therapist in the hope that the therapist will not react to their tests as their beliefs predict. In research studies carried out by the San Francisco Psychotherapy Research Group, we demonstrated that we can reliably infer patients’ plans from their behavior at the beginning of therapy and that patients work consistently in accordance with these plans throughout the therapy. Support for this thesis appears in infant research, evolutionary psychology, academic cognitive research, and linguistics. The view of the therapeutic process proposed here bears on the current discussion of the therapist's use of authority and integrates several current trends in the theory of therapy.
