Abstract
SOUZA, Cirlana Rodrigues de and PARAVIDINI, João Luiz Leitão. On the constitution of the subject: the subjective impasse. Estilos clin. [online]. 2013, vol.18, n.1, pp.107-124. ISSN 1415-7128.
Considering the writing of a clinical case, and focusing on the issue of psychosis in childhood, we will discuss the Lacanian concepts of alienation and separation as fundamental in the subjective construction and in the subject's time of structuration, aiming an approach to the child's situation that arises from the possibility of the subjective impasse as a condition of psychological distress in which the child could not sustain the direction of his instinctual burden.
Keywords : subject; Other; subjective structuration; psychosis; childhood.
