Abstract:
Psychoanalysis is understood as method, technique and a set of applied theories in the study of the unconscious processes. However, it is not uncommon to note, in some contexts such as the Academy, or even in the analytical community, the emphasis attributed to Psychoanalysis, sometimes as a psychoanalytic treatment, restricting it to a therapeutic practice, or as identified to its theory. In this article it is emphasized the investigative potential of Psychoanalysis through its method. This, unlike some analysts believe, can be developed beyond the standard clinical, as we have followed through academic research.
