CARNEIRO, Cláudia Aparecida    LAZZARINI, Eliana Rigotto. Accepting the difference: the function of psychic bisexuality in the construction of subjectivity. []. , 52, 1, pp.155-186. ISSN 0101-4838.

This article aims to explore the metapsychological relevance and contemporaneity of the notion of psychic bisexuality, which has been present in psychoanalysis since its beginning and was considered by Freud as a decisive factor in human sexuality. We intend to present the psychic bisexuality as a fundamental and organizing concept of the subjective processes, as well as the recognition of otherness. For this, we go through the Freudian texts and his theoretical developments and follow researching the psychoanalysts who have been looking for new readings about bisexuality. We highlight the ideas of Winnicott and Bion, authors who sought a dialogue between the drive theory and that of object relations as a solution to Freud's theoretical ambiguities. Thus, we take our bet that bisexuality, besides a constitutional disposition, is inscribed in the original psyche through the relation between the subject and his primordial objects. Furthermore, it has an organizing function in the subjective processes, insofar that it paves the way to these objects coexist in psychic life.
