Quando nos referimos ao ato infracional, destacamos uma questão que diz respeito ao olhar da Psicanálise para as possíveis motivações inconscientes que esse ato pode vir a desvelar, em contraposição ao olhar do Direito, que visa à punição em proldo cumprimento das normas. Em ambos os posicionamentos, têm-se as implicações desse ato no social, não s...

A inserção do discurso psicanalítico nas instituições públicas de saúde gera alguns impasses técnicos e éticos ao confrontar a singularidade do “cada um”, buscada pela psicanálise com a assistência à saúde regida por políticas públicas de atenção e de cuidados aplicados “para todos” os usuários de determinadas categorias. Isso tem levado muitos psi...

Resumo A interrogação que move este trabalho é se a herança estruturalista na clínica lacaniana das psicoses estaria ultrapassada devido aos desdobramentos dos últimos ensinamentos de Lacan. Nessa direção, este artigo tem como objetivo apresentar algumas contribuições do estruturalismo à clínica lacaniana da psicose, tendo como chave de análise o c...

When acts of infraction are discussed, an important issue which should be highlighted concerns the Psychoanalysis' view on possible unconscious reasons that may be revealed by these sorts of acts in contrast with the view from the Law, which targets punishment in order to ensure the observance of society's rules. In both points of view, social impl...

The psychoanalytic discourse insertion into public health institutions causes some technical and ethical deadlocks for confronting the singularity of "an individual", that is an aim of psychoanalysis, to the kind of healthcare employed by public policies of attention and care "for all" users of certain categories. This fact has made many psychoanal...

The issue that permeates this paper refers to the investigation, based on a psychoanalytic perspective, of the descriptivist's insufficient that guides the nosography psychiatric, of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), in regard to the establishment of a differential diagnosis.

The aim of this paper is to clarify how the psychoanalyst can give conditions to the subject, in an urgent situation, subjectify the anguish that immobilizes him. Our hypothesis is that the logical time strategy of Jacques Lacan is an important psychoanalytic resource in this time when the anxiety implies a symbolic break. The management of logical...

This paper approaches the relation between crime, society and the subject, taking Freudians theoretical articulations as reference. The aim is to show how the psychoanalytical notion of Civilization's structure, through the Parricide's Myth and, analogously, the subjective constitution, through Oedipus Complex, reveal the crime as a briefly human a...

Esse esquema permite uma aborda...

Neste artigo, refazemos o percurso freudiano a propósito do conceito de paranoia em sua obra. Esse percurso se fará a partir dos textos considerados pré-psicanalíticos, passando por aquele que é considerado o texto maior de Freud sobre as psicoses (o Caso Schereber), culminando com suas análises que levam em consideração sua segunda teoria sobre o...

Este artigo apresenta alguns elementos que podem permitir uma melhor compreensão do Transtorno de Déficit de Atenção e Hiperatividade. O primeiro elemento é determinar a função perturbada - a consciência - e a semiologia clássica dessa função; o segundo, apontar para uma ideologia naturalista que sustenta o diagnóstico em termos de transtorno; o te...

The first element is to determine which function is disturbed - consciousness - and its classic semiology; the second element is to point out a naturalist ideology that supports the diagnosis in terms of disorder; the third is th...

The aim of this paper is to demonstrate how the alleged abolition of differential diagnosis neurosis and psychosis in ICD-10 and DSM-IV-TR aims to take the scene not only etiological debate, but also psychoanalytic theory. To this end we will devote ourselves to an analysis of ICD-10 and DSM-IV-TR from the etiological and historical debate around t...

The present article intended to appear for the subjects that were in game for Freud when of the composition of the Project of 1895. We sought with that to demonstrate that Freud didn't necessarily seek the construction of a theory neuropsychoanalytical, as they intend some, but the search of the psychic etiology of the neuroses. Therefore, in a fir...

The aim of this paper is the discussion about the amplitude of Name-of-the-Father concept nowadays. Within the first Lacan's teaching, the concept was taken as fundamental condition for diagnose, therefore its presence was decisive to establish structural difference between neurosis and psychosis.

This article defines the concept of passing to the act in relation to acting- out and distinguishes the subjective responses they involve. From the distinctions proposed by Lacan among them based on the concept of object a, we seek to situate the subject in both modes of act, aiming to put into the clinical discussion, the discrete passages to the...

Nosso objetivo é delimitar o que é chamado de urgência subjetiva e seu tratamento em instituições de saúde mental. Diferentemente da simples urgência ou da emergência clássica, a urgência tornada subjetiva pelo acolhimento do psicanalista pode ser considerada em três momentos da clínica: o momento da precipitação que leva o sujeito à instituição; a...

The objective in this article is to delimit what is known as subjective urgency and its treatment in mental health institutions. Subjective urgency differs from simple urgency and classical emergency in that it has become subjective because the psychoanalyst's reception can be considered as consisting of three clinical moments: the moment of precip...

This article intends to, at a first moment, specify the range of problems of psychoanalysis.

Such critics nowadays are inserted in a project of medicalization of the psychic aiming to treat psychopatology according the same...

The objective of this article is to demonstrate that between psychoanalysis and the scientifi c thought we could talk of compatibility.

This study shows an analysis of the prehistory of the concept of causality in Freud, since his studies with Charcot, in 1885, until the work "The interpretation of dreams", in 1900. It was verified that the function of causality could only be consolidated in Psychoanalysis if Freud would have abdicated to the principle of cause in Natural Sciences....

Este trabalho traz uma análise da pré-história do conceito de causalidade em Freud, desde seus estudos com Charcot, em 1885, até a obra A interpretação dos sonhos, de 1900.

Apresentam-se as razões pelas quais tanto o pensamento científico quanto o pensamento psicanalítico recusam o realismo em todos os seus matizes para pensar o que estrutura uma experiência. Desta análise, extrai-se como conseqüência a irredutibilidade de qualquer tratamento do sujeito por meio de um processo de objetivação, demarcando assim o campo...

The irreductability of any treatment of the subject through the means of an objective process is extracted from this analysis by the author; therefore, drawing t...
