SIQUEIRA, Elizabete  and  QUEIROZ, Edilene. The Paco case: an example of neo-onset. Psicol. rev. (Belo Horizonte) [online]. 2011, vol.17, n.2, pp.291-302. ISSN 1677-1168.

This work results from an investigation on the Contemporary Statute of the Identification Devices in Subjects with Body Marks and Changes in the Program of Post-Graduation in Clinical Psychology of Pernambuco State’s Catholic University. Testimonies from another research (Tattoos, piercings and other body marks: inter-ethnographic similarities between Recife and Madrid) were studied in the scope of Anthropology by researcher Fabiana Maria Gama Pereira. The methodology employed was meta-analysis. Interviews with four subjects who underwent body changes were analyzed according to the principles of psychoanalysis. They were divided into two groups, the first made up of three subjects who mark their bodies for the Other in search of recognition and the second consisting of one subject who anchors his being in his body changes and shows an identifying modality similar to a pleasure badge. Our aim is to show that this particular case represents a paradigm for a psychotic neo-onset

Keywords : Body marks; badge; pleasure; psychotic neo-onset.
