  • Title: [Psychoanalysis and epistemology: mental development and formulation of theories].
    Author: Zysman S.
    Journal: Vertex; 2004; 15(55):50-7. PubMed ID: 15085226.
    Abstract:
    This paper aims at studying from a psychoanalytical perspective the relationship between the acquisition of knowledge, the formulation of theories based on the generalization of such knowledge, and, what we consider to be an antecedent, the infantile sexual theories (IST). Psychoanalysis is also a psychology of normal psychic processes, among them creative activity which includes scientific thought. This is of interest to psychoanalysts and to epistemologists and paves the way to necessary interdisciplinary endeavors.
