Abstract

Near the beginning of 1970 a change happened in the theoretical and technical influences in Uruguayan psychoanalysis. The reception of new ideas is a complex cultural process, in which the receiver's attitude can go from a "mimetic" position to an
"anthropophagic" one. Some differences about the reception of Lacanian ideas in Montevideo and Buenos Aires are underlined.
To go deeper into this analysis, the transition from a Kleinian to a Lacanian influence in the work of Gilberto Koolhaas is examined.
Clinical examples from him are analyzed which make explicit the relation between his philosophical ideas, which play a core role in
his thinking, and his concern to understand in an accurate way the clinical experience with the patient. The "mimetic" concern during the reading of the texts was followed by an "antropophagic" attitude when he was working as analyst and developing his own thought.
