A criança e a debilidade mental: uma abordagem lacaniana

Abstract:t:t: This article resumes the concept of mental weakness in thehistory of Psychoanalysis in order to verify the way Lacan took this notion in his theor y.

Os objetos e o tratamento da criança autista

O objetivo deste artigo e refletir sobre o uso dos objetos no tratamento psicanalitico da crianca autista. Primeiramente, teceremos algumas consideracoes a respeito da importância do objeto na constituicao subjetiva, a partir da oposicao freudiana entre os principios de prazer e de realidade. A seguir, retomaremos as consideracoes de Tustin sobre o objeto autistico e o caso Joey, de Betelheim, para, finalmente, discutir com autores contemporâneos a pertinencia de nossa proposta.

A noção de das Ding em Jacques Lacan

The present article aims to explicit the Lacanian usage of the notion of das Ding extracted from Freuds ([1895] 1995) Entwurf einer Psychologie. We will also try to show at what point das Ding can clarify important aspects of Lacans work, such as the relationship of the infant with the Other, as well as the statute of the latter; and the question of the translation of the term Vorstellungsreprasentanz to presentation-of-representation.

Novas pesquisas sobre o autismo

O livro Affinity therapy: Nouvelles recherches sur l’autisme nos traz, nas palavras da organizadora desta coletânea, “o que ha de novo no tratamento do autismo” (p. 11). Myriam Perrin parte da constatacao deveras reafirmada de que todo autista tem suas fixacoes, ritualizacoes, obsessoes, paixoes, para nomear essa particularidade como afinidade. E essa afinidade que deve orientar o tratamento para que seja possivel construir uma verdadeira dinâmica subjetiva autista. Contudo, Perrin nao se propoe a definir um metodo de tratamento, mas adota uma perspectiva politico-clinica que “coloca a singularidade do falasser no centro de seu fundamento” (p. 11). Com efeito, trata-se de se contrapor as abordagens cognitivo-comportamentais que negam a subjetividade, fazendo da linguagem unicamente um instrumento de comunicacao. Assim, os disturbios de linguagem nao sao vistos como sintomas de um transtorno mental Affinity therapy: Nouvelles recherches sur l’autisme Perrin, M. (Org.)
