What takes place in that space called analysis? What are the differences between psychoanalysis, psychotherapies, or even the deep and intimate conversations that can occur between two people? Ultimately, what defines the singular nature of an analysis? This book seeks to shed light on these and other questions that emerge from psychoanalytic practice.
An intense and deeply personal book. A chronicle of the loss of a child as a literary motive, opening and projecting an emotional and restorative journey through family bonds, the possibility of emerging from pain, and the recovery of hope. This book bears witness to a battle against the lacerating pain of loss. Jorge Bafico seeks to construct a fiction that moves away from lived anguish, fishing for words capable of transmuting suffering and turning it into poetry.

Restos de historias
This book is both a journey and a tribute. An invitation to explore the most complex zones of the human psyche through different patients’ stories. It is also a homage to the figure of Dagoberto Puppo, a great physician who was a teacher, role model, and friend to the author. Description / Product Details
The psychoanalyst Jorge Bafico and the psychiatrist Dagoberto Puppo traveled a long path together.
Fantasy and reality, this story makes no distinction for the man who confuses subjective experiences with facts. Psychosis is characterized by delusions and hallucinations, leading to an impairment in the ability to differentiate between what is real and what is unreal, as in cases such as the Vampire Killer or the Moon Maniac. This is a well-established scientific fact today. Yet reaching this understanding within the field of forensic psychology has required extensive work and research.

Introducción a la teoría Lacaniana.

In this work, the psychoanalyst Jorge Bafico lays himself bare in a book that crosses genre boundaries, situating itself between literature and psychoanalysis.
It is a book about madness and death, but above all about human evil. For years, psychoanalyst Jorge Bafico investigated the cases of serial killers Ted Bundy, David Berkowitz, Jeffrey Lionel Dahmer, John Wayne Gacy, Richard Trenton Chase, and Luis Alfredo Garavito, as well as the famous fictional characters Hannibal Lecter and Dexter.
In this work, he analyzes the subjective structure of these serial murderers and their inscription within singular lives.
This volume addresses, from a rigorous and articulated perspective, the core concepts of psychoanalytic thought: the relationship between sign, signifier, and meaning; the Oedipus complex understood both in its mythical and tragic dimension and in its clinical formulation; and the differentiated readings proposed by Freud and Lacan. It further explores the notion of the Other and its impact on psychic structures, offering a solid approach to clinical practice and to the inaugural moments of treatment, such as the preliminary interviews.
