Abstract

In March 2016 the association of critical social psychoanalyses (ASPAS) in Costa Rica realized together with the BRIBRI association DITSÓKATA a pioneer project in the field of ethnopsychoanalyses.

Ethnopsychoanalyses is the science, which applies psychoanalyses in the field of social investigation; the founders of this school were Paul Parin, Goldy Parin-Matthéy and Fritz Morgenthaler, the ´School of Zurich´ [1]. The special focus of ethno psychoanalyses in social investigations concentrate on the relationship of the scientist and the object of investigation, including both subjectivities and the process of transference and counter transference [2].

The project included a group of 13 Austrian students of the Sigmund Freud University (SFU) in Vienna chaired by the author, and where the author was a professor for years for ethnopsychoanalyses and psychodrama. The overall goal was the interchange of our different ways to interpret dreams, and the encounter of the different cultures.

More comprehensive analyses, reflections and forwarding developments are requested to use the intensive experiences, which were made for individual cases, ethnopsychoanalyses in general and the understanding about more and different cultures, and human rights in general.
