O conceito de alianças inconscientes como fundamento ao trabalho vincular em psicanálise

Understanding the Individual-society relationship is a challenge for human and social sciences in general and for psychoanalysis in particular. Our goal on this article is to present and sustain the contractual logic in psychoanalysis as the foundation for working with couples, families, groups and institutions. Starting from an attentive study of two of Freud’s “Social Texts”, we aim at characterizing the author’s notion of contract. We then present René Kaës’ concept of unconscious alliances as a possible development of such notion. We conclude upon the specificities and potentialities of the concept of unconscious alliances in contributing to the debate on the relationship between individual and society in general and about is pertinence and utility as the curbstone for bound work on psychoanalysis
