%0 Journal Article %T APROXIMACI¨®N TE¨®RICA: SABER Y VERDAD EN EL S¨ªNTOMA %A Yolima Amado %J Revista Vanguardia Psicol¨®gica %D 2011 %I %X Identifying some differences between the psychoanalysis and the health sciences about the place of the knowledge in the clinical practice, this paper introduces a situation in which the science mutes the individual; while the truth that causes this individual is blocked by some kind of knowledge that is irrelevant by itself. In this way it is possible to identify the proper characteristics of the psychoanalysis and the practice implemented by Freud, whom once discovers the unconscious then stops using the suggestion technique in order to let his hysterical women patients talk; which leads him to recognize an split on what the individual knows about himself/herself, and what he/she does not want to know anything about. From this approach, it is possible to understand that the truth revealed in the psychoanalytical clinic through a half-saying, is not the same one gotten from the empirical demonstration, nor from the formulation of universal laws, either; this is a truth not to be confused with a certainty. In psychoanalysis, it is about the repression of a truth that can only be expressed through a secret and encrypted language. %K symptom %K knowledge %K truth %K psychoanalysis %K science %U http://umb.edu.co:82/revp/index.php/RVP/article/viewFile/30/10
