A fundação do inconsciente e sua relação com as determinações parentais: um estudo teórico-clínico apoiado na obra de Silvia Bleichma

Abstract

In the present work we investigate how the elements that constitute the roots of a child’s psyche are inscribed and retranscribed, elements derived from the adult of the origins (parents or caregivers). The case study of a child with obstacles in the processes of constitution of his psyche served as inspiration for the study of the theory of origins, elaborated by the psychoanalyst Silvia Bleichmar, in whose fundamental concepts (transvazanting narcissism, double maternal function, symptom versus disorder) we will support ourselves. Bleichmar, guided by the teachings of Jean Laplanche, supposes an adult from the origins, with a central function as an “other”, who addresses to the child something of the order of adult sexuality, which he is not able to translate. This parasitization of inscriptions that come from the different systems of the mother “subscribe in no man’s land”, fall as signs of perception and at a later moment retranscribe. Certain inscriptions, effects of severe trauma, do not reach the status of unconscious and are delivered to a threatening circulation to the psychic topic, whose stability puts at risk. We affirm that when the analyst is faced with a psyche with obstacles in the foundation of his scaffolding, it is necessary to review the clinical strategy towards a binding treatment. In the case we present, the reason for analysis will be the construction of a psychism coming from symbolizing interventions, aiming at the foundation of the psychic topic. In this search, in addition to individual care, we require a joint work with the various spaces of the child’s circulation and their main bindings. Therefore, we maintain that it is neither the mother nor her desire that is inscribed in the unconscious of the child, but something that passes disqualified, metabolized, effect of processes of excitation that the human infant tries to dominate, bind, retransform. This secondary, active process of seeking meaning and symbolization on the part of the human infant depends on the character of the relationships established with their parental figures. What is inscribed in the unconscious is a foreign material for both adults and children. Throughout the research, we have covered the conditions for this material to be reappropriated as fertile ground for the constitution of a psyche capable of creative constructions. We also tracked, finally, what are the signs of when these conditions are not being sufficiently achieved
