SILVA, Luan Sampaio. False-selves characters in transitional theater and the contemporary psychoanalytic clinic. []. , 55, pp.205-211. ISSN 0100-3437.

The objective of this work is to explore the concept of false self proposed by Winnicott, intertwined with the concept of spontaneous gesture and other interconnected concepts. It will also address the concept of transitional theater proposed by Joyce McDougall, which from a fragmentation that originates a false self, can also develop a "dependency potential": in the absence of a transitional object, the I can establish a link to a transitory object that will be evoked to fulfill the "transitional" function and give the individual the feeling of feeling alive. This concept is directly influenced by Winnicottian conceptions of transitional objects and phenomena, and may elucidate some emerging issues in the contemporary psychoanalytic clinic with certain subjects who resort to psychoanalytic care and present this peculiar psychic arrangement.
