Investigation - DLA

Since 2000, he has developed an investigation method of the verbal and non verbal expressions named David Liberman algorithm (DLA), designated in honour of David Liberman, an Argentinian pioneer in the field of the research in verbal expressions with a psychoanalytic approach. Both authors wrote a book named: "Psicoanálisis y Semiótica" that constitutes a result of the encounter between two different approaches: "The book constitutes the result of a nexus between two developments" The DLA started being a method that studies the Freudian concepts of wishes, defenses and their states in the verbal expressions in three fields: narrations, speech acts and words, and then it included also the study of the motor and graphic expressions. Individually and with collaborators, the author dedicated many books and papers to the description of the method and its implementation in clinical and psychosocial situations, like Investigaciones en procesos psicoanalíticos (2000), La investigación psicoanalítica del lenguaje (2003), Systematic research on psychoanalytic concepts and clinical practice: the David Liberman algorithm (DLA) (2005), La intersubjetividad en la clínica psicoanalítica (2007), ADL. Algoritmo David Liberman. Un instrumento para la evaluación de los deseos y las defensas en el discurso (2013).

In the development of the different instruments of the method, in addition to David Liberman's influence, could be mentioned the influence of Greimas, in the analysis of narrations and motor skills, the influence of Searles in the speech acts analysis, and the influence of the Groupe μ in the analysis of the iconic and plastic components of the visual sign.

The instruments of the DLA have been implemented regularly throughout masters and doctorate thesis by students of Argentina, Brasil, Mexico and Ecuador.
