A psicose em Freud e Lacan: do intratável ao tratamento possível

Abstract

This research presents the general lines of psychosis theory and clinic from the psychoanalytical referential of Freud and Lacan. The objective of the research is to investigate what the lacanian change is for the difficulty of treating psychosis that Freud pointed to. For this, Freud's general theory on psychosis is presented, as well as the way in which Lacan rescues the notion of Verwerfung in Freud and interprets it as foreclosure of the Name-of-the-Father and, finally, the limits of the freudian theory of psychosis. Thus, one asks what changes were undertaken by Lacan to propose a treatment for psychosis through psychoanalysis. It was possible to understand that the limits of transference in Freud find in Lacan other theoretical-clinical paths. In relation to the method, a historical, problematic and interpretive reading of the references understood as essential for the reading of their theories on psychosis was carried out, in addition to other commentators on the subject. The relevance and clinical theoretical justification of the theme lies in resuming Freud’s legacy as the founder of psychoanalysis, but understanding its limits for the treatment of psychosis, and inferring which resources lacanian theory presents in contrast. Furthermore, the issue of psychosis is relevant to establish a dialogue between psychoanalysis and psychiatry. It is necessary to make a diagnosis in language, taking into account the etiology of suffering, and treatment through listening to the subject
