Costruzioni eikota. Verità ed efficacia nella cura psicoanalitica.

Abstract

This article proposes to add the Greek notion of eikos to the debate on the epistemological mandate of psychoanalisis. This term is traditionally translated as likely or probable. The proposed thesis is that such a notion, if adequately understood, can offer an interesting starting point for the understanding of the Freudian concepts of “construction” and “historical truth”.
