CANTU, Gustavo. Clinical interpretation of wisc-iv verbal comprehension subtests: some preliminary metapsichological hypothesis . Psicol. rev. (Belo Horizonte) [online]. 2019, vol.25, n.1, pp.78-98. ISSN 1677-1168.  https://doi.org/10.5752/P.1678-9563.2019v25n1p78-98.

This article aims at analyzing the psychic functioning ways required and displayed in the verbal comprehension subtests of WISC-IV scale with the purpose of designing meta-psychologically the processes involved in the development of the self, in his/her relationship with the cultural objects. In order to study these procedures, the analysis of the symbolic production proposed by Schlemenson (2009) was applied to each of the subtests. On one hand, the hypothesis were constructed by analyzing the tasks in each subtest, and on the other hand taking into account the clinical study of different cases and their psychoanalytical interpretation. The analyses of singular types of answers to each subtests allowed the development of hypothesis to understand the psychic pre-conditions needed for the solution of specific tasks of each subtest and the intra-individual differences in the production.
