André Green: Clinical Thinking and Complexity. Pending Matters
Keywords:
validation, clinical fact, psychoanalysis, Green, AndréAbstract
The work of André Green means a substantial contribution to current psychoanalysis. Taking a central Freudian reference as the starting point, he opens lines of dialogue with different approaches and he enriches the understanding of clinical work and the complex nature of our discipline. In this presentation I refer to some aspects in which Green manages to make the metapsychological concepts and clinical experience to mutually enrich and revitalize. However, Green also establishes certain exclusions, especially regarding current methodological developments, which result restrictive for a necessary triangulation of perspectives and research possibilities. Some aspects of the clinical field are pointed out where an integrating «and» would be more fertile, though problematic, than a dilemmatic and excluding «or». This problem is stated to be related with the complex nature of psychoanalysis, especially in regards to its double link with the sciences of nature and with the humanistic disciplines.
