GORDON, Alessandra Ricciardi. From the psychic retreat in trichotillomania to the world of object relations. J. psicanal. [online]. 2011, vol.44, n.80, pp.177-192. ISSN 0103-5835.

Through this paper I would like to give segment to a few thoughts which originated from the psychoanalytic treatment of a woman of 34 years old in its seventh year, with a compulsive symptomatology, specifically trichotillomania. This compulsive symptomatology is part of an emotional development rather poor, which was described in a previous work (Gordon, 2009). A dynamic between the compulsive aspects and narcissistic and object investments was observed and described. The aim of this present paper is to make a brief recapitulation of these conclusions, which include some considerations about trichotillomania, as described in the psychiatric and psychoanalytic literature, and further developments will be added.

Palabras clave : Self eroticism; Compulsion; Trichotillomania; Narcissism; Psychic retreat.
