Abstract

SANTOS, Elise Alves dos; CELES, Luiz Augusto Monnerat  and  SAINT MARTIN, Cristina Lindenmeyer. Fragments of two cases of patients treated by Charcot: background linked to desires to travel and multiple sclerosis symptoms. Cad. psicanal. [online]. 2020, vol.42, n.42, pp.189-204. ISSN 1413-6295.

Two fragments of unpublished cases attended by Jean-Martin Charcot (James Lévy and Sioen) are presented. We try to think of them from psychoanalytic considerations about flashes of the history of two young people diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, whose experiences are marked by the escape from where they were and the "powerful desires to travel". The trajectory of travels, carried out at times of change experienced by each patient, was marked by the emergence of somatic manifestations of multiple sclerosis. The discussion about the Oedipus complex is related to a kind of behavioral manifestation, strongly associated with the sick body's expression domain.

Keywords : Charcot's patients; Desires to travel; Multiple sclerosis symptoms; Body; Oedipus complex.
