IPA Inter-Regional Encyclopedic Dictionary of Psychoanalysis

Strongly resonating with Latin American cultural identity, but applicable worldwide, Pichon Rivière’s psychoanalytic conceptualization of links and bridges between the internal and external worlds, in addition to his ‘ dialectic spiral’ linking contradictory movements of regression and progression, extended onto contradictory movements of any kind, is envisioned as also applicable to the wide context of the elaborations of the self-concepts in the different regions and among the diverse psychoanalytical schools. Across all psychoanalytic orientations and cultures, the multidimensional spectrum of theoretical conceptualizations of the self with implications for sensitively attuned contemporary clinical psychoanalytic practice with wide range of serious clinical conditions, provide for a ‘built-in’ guard against dogmatism and rigidity of old and new orthodoxies.
