Abstract

LIMA, Julia Coutinho Costa  and  CONTI, Luciane De. Temporality and self-narratives: effects of discontinuity and continuity in the story of a teenager living on the streets. Estud. psicanal. [online]. 2017, n.47, pp.157-164. ISSN 0100-3437.

Starting from the temporal value of the continuity present on the contribution of D. Winnicott - both in the process of developing the self and on the establishment of transitional space -We have arrived at an approximation with the idea of the self-narrative as the ability to construct meaning to their own experience in a personal way. The article seeks to discuss the importance of this ability and the effects of its embrittlement trough the discussion of the Leonardo/Bruno case, a teenager living on the street, on his meetings with a psychologist in a shelter institution. The transferential relationship arrived as a propitiation element for the past to become the present, favoring the production of new senses and the aquisition of a place on his own story.

Keywords : Temporality; Self-narratives; Teenager living on the streets; Transferential relationship.
