De la madre a la app17 “suficientemente buena”.

Objective: To explore and understand the concept of “good enough mother” coined by D.W. Winnicott, from which the impossibility of mother and infant to fully predict each other’s behavior is posited. This mismatch allows the passage from the register of need to that of desire. Methodology: a reflection is elaborated about the direction taken by technology through applications or “apps” in the attempt to make predictable all quality and desire through the use of algorithms. Results and Conclusions: The consequences that these applications have in the realm of the cultural and in desire as an expression of the subjective and unique are explored. The positioning of psychoanalysis as a science of the subjective in the face of the rise of technology as a tool of prediction and control is highlighted. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
