A constituição do infantil na obra de Freud

The development of the concept of infantile in Freud. Freud’s understanding of the importance of infancy in psychical constitution is fundamental in psychoanalysis, leading us to consider that the notion of infantile, in metapsychology, assumes the statute of a concept. This essay proposes to research the concept of infantile in Freud. In order to point out the precocity of the appearance of the concept in psychoanalysis, the initial moments of Freud’s works are favored. Some texts written after the pre-psychoanalytic publications, such as “The Interpretation of Dreams” and “The three essays on the theory of sexuality”, will also be analyzed, so as to point out the initial development of the concept of infantile in metapsychology and in psychoanalytic

O psíquico e o social numa perspectiva metapsicológica: o conceito de identificação em freud

In this article, the metapsychological concept of identification is simultaneously understood as the basis for the mechanisms of the individuals insertion in social groups - in a cultural context - as well as a key factor in the overcoming of the Oedipus conflict and the comprehension of the constitution of the self. It is suggested that the concept of identification enables us to understand psychic and social factors as elements in the constitution of the individual which, therefore, should not be considered separately. This also indicates the metapsychological character that the social factor acquires in Freuds psychoanalytical theory. The main source for the current analysis is the 1921 essay by Freud entitled Group Psychology and the Analysis of the Ego.

Uma concepção psicanalítica de personalidade: teoria das relações objetais de Fairbairn

The main purpose of this essay is to develop the idea that the object-relations theory, introduced in the psychoanalytical movement as an opposition to the libido theory as basis to psychic constitution, produced a radical change in the psychoanalytical concept of subjects. Change is represented by the quitting of the drive as a subject foundation and by the apprehension and comprehension of subjects as personalities, or rather, substantially structured. In terms of methodology, the main work by William Ronald D. Fairbairn (1889-1964) was analyzed and taken as paradigmatic for all object-relations theories. The evolution of Fairbairns thoughts, from his studies on schizophrenia - and the contradiction it brought to the contemporary libido theory - to the changes and overcoming the author proposed to accomplish in psychoanalytical theory, as a result of his finding that the libidinal goal is an object, are presented.The main purpose of this essay is to develop the idea that the object-relations theory, introduced in the psychoanalytical movement as an opposition to the libido theory as basis to psychic constitution, produced a radical change in the psychoanalytical concept of subjects.

O Feminino como metáfora do sujeito na psicanálise

Muito se diz sobre a mulher desde as brechas deixadas por Freud. E extensa a literatura, assim como as faces e as versoes assumidas pelo feminino. Introduzida na Psicanalise, desde a sua origem nos estudos sobre a histeria, a busca por uma resposta sobre o tornar-se mulher ganhou um lugar central na teoria e na pratica psicanalitica. Seja pelos impasses antes colocados pelo proprio Freud acerca do tema, seja por outros instituidos pelo avancar das investigacoes pos-freudianas, algo parece insistir na classica pergunta: “o que quer uma mulher?” e um entrever parece acompanhar as producoes teoricas elaboradas ate aqui. Contudo, desde “o continente negro”, de Freud, a logica do nao todo, de Lacan, uma impossibilidade de saber (dizer) sobre o feminino acompanha todo o entrancar conceitual da Psicanalise. Quais os sentidos do feminino na Psicanalise? Que relacoes sao tracadas entre esse conceito e o ser mulher? Pretende-se, nesse trabalho, percorrer algumas concepcoes que contornam e compoem o enigma da feminilidade. Um recorte que apresenta o feminino, ora como qualificador do ser mulher, ora radicalizado em um novo conceito, no qual a nocao de alteridade e de limite o constituem. Assim, um deslocamento de sentido se operou na palavra em questao ao longo do seu curso na psicanalise. Hoje, sua carga semântica e outra. Nesses caminhos, a figura da mulher multiplica-se. Transita da logica falica a Outra, podendo ser uma e muitas, como uma daquelas bonecas russas, a babushka.
