Abstract

Today, in virtue of numerous social changes, Psychoanalysis is interested in the new sceneries regarding subject, society and their mutual relationships; among the new contemporary themes often emerge "the paradoxes of the happiness", and this fact brings to wonder as these contemporary phenomena can be correlated to some destabilizing dynamics and to some new forms of mental illness. The increasing attention about these controversial aspects is a sign of awareness of the need of a new perspective on the subject and the collectivity. These examinations are also useful to answer to the questions: how the patients are changed today? To look for an answer we have to explore some paradoxes that science and sociology have recently deepen.
