PSYCHIC REALITY OR VARIOUS REALITIES

摘要

The panoramic revision of the concept of 'psychic reality' opens up numerous lines of analysis. I have chosen here to study it as an entity under permanent construction and to distinguish qualitative differences within it, according to whether it comes from a singular instinctive reality or a reality common to two or more people. When the quality of the reality comes from the socio-cultural context it presents some specific technical difficulties, given that patients and analyst belong to the same context and their ethical judgements arise from that context, and not only from theory.
