Abstract

BRUM, Evanisa Helena Maio de. Void pathologies: a challenge for contemporary clinic practice. Psicol. cienc. prof. [online]. 2004, vol.24, n.2, pp.48-53. ISSN 1414-9893.

This work aims to present the void pathologies, which include diagnoses as borderline and narcissist disorders of personality, the concept of false self and autism. The present paper is based on bibliographical research on the theory of psychoanalytical technique. The development theory (mainly Donald Winnicott’s work) was used to understand these regressive pathologies. An analysis of a literary fragment and of a clinical case establish the link between theory and practice.

Keywords : Psychotherapy; Clinic practice; Void pathologies; Winnicott’s theory.
