MELLO, Renata    HERZOG, Regina. Cleaved psychisms: lack of meaning and insistence in existing. []. , 34, 27, pp.65-81. ISSN 1413-6295.

This paper discusses the notion of psychic cleavage as a favoured defense in face of instinctual excess in the context of the conceptual upheaval of the 1920's. In line with this objective we suggest: first, to investigate the counterpart of the object in organizing the cleaved psychism; and second, to deal with the subjective impasses of cleavage considering the flaws in the imbrication of the object with the drive.
