Abstract

ESTHER, Vera. The pain of mourning and its psychoanalytical reception. Estud. psicanal. [online]. 2011, n.35, pp.151-165. ISSN 0100-3437.

The text presents a clinical case in which a psychoanalytical reception is provided for a mother who loses her adolescent daughter from suicide. The main background posture, during treatment, was made possible by previous knowledge of Winnicottian theory, but its explication, with regard to its appropriateness to this specific case, was facilitated after analysis was interrupted, as a form of deferred action, by the analyst, during the writing of the text.

Keywords : Suicide; Dependency; Clinical case; Psychoanalysis.
