"Paz sem voz não é paz, é medo": o estudo de um caso clínico diagnosticado como deficiência mental leve

Abstract

While treating a patient diagnosed with light mental deficiency, I try to make a theoretical-clinical reflection aiming to understand the peculiarities of the clinic for this kind of patient. My first contact with this kind of patient was through SORRI- São José dos Campos, where I started my quest in this very special clinic. My Aim was to understand the subjectivity of patients with this diagnosis and to create possible clinical interventions. To achieve it a theoretical study about the influence of family bonds of children with light mental deficiency and their consequences on these children s emotional development was necessary. Based on the theories of D. W. Winnicott about mental growth and of Maud Mannoni about children with mental deficiency, I was able to create actings based on the fact that this clinic is related not only to the patients but also to their families which are deeply hurt by the pain of having a person with this diagnosis within them
