O pai e seu filho surdo: um olhar psicanalítico

Abstract

A series of psychoanalysis studious that have dealt with the question of the relationship of parents with a child who has some disability, pointed to the difficulty of access to the father by child, and also that the kind of relationship that the mother establishes with the disabled child makes impossible any human projection over this. This means that the father the man is affected differently? There are few studies about the relationship of the father with the deaf son. It s possible to say that there is deafness to the speech of the father, and this way is legitimated that the child, in the case, deaf, is a son (daughter) of the mother. This study aims to give voice to the famer and enable a listening, so it can dismantle some preconceptions about him, more specifically, about his absence. Interviews were made with three listener parents with a deaf son (daughter) of different groups, in order to verify whether or not happening in elaborative-significant changes in the male genitors psychic world derived from a longer period of preparation of the narcissistic wound set up by the imperfection of the child. The work follows the models of a clinical-qualitative research and the analysis of the collected data was made from a psychoanalytical reference. It became well obvious that the participating parents closely monitor their sons (daughters), but because of the narcissistic uproar caused by the detection of the deafness of him (her), they feel at fault with the child. Moreover, there was evidence of some difficulty in the aim to fulfill the ban on fusional ties mother-deaf child
