Psychoanalysis – Freud & Lacan
Currently, I carry out research on the structure and phenomenology within the psychoanalytic experience taking into account the necessary conditions for the formalization and transmission of psychoanalysis through three different scopes: the epistemological criteria, the ethical premises and social implementation in different cultural grounds.

My work is driven by the hypothesis that the tension between the concept of the subject and the theorization of the forms of discourse constitute a corner stone for the psychoanalytic praxis. I have a distinctive interest for topics such the causality and negativity in the etiological concept of psychoanalysis; the concepts of act and interpretation; the narrative and discursive conditions for the comprehension of the psychic suffering as well as the psychoanalytic-diagnostic statute.
