CATTAPAN, Pedro. Phallus versus creativity. Estud. psicanal. [online]. 2011, n.35, pp.93-102. ISSN 0100-3437.

The present paper recovers the freudian concept of helplessness as related to the traumatism, denoting its positive side - the helplessness is a condition to creativity. To do so, this article operates some Winnicott’s concepts in a critical way. The relevance of this text comes from the fact that, usually, many psychoanalysts associate the traumatic to castration and not to helplessness - this way of thinking that produces important effects in clinic. The reference to phallus and to its castration impedes the emergence of creativity; it produces lack of interest in the world and a fascination with the phallus: the only object that could be believed to bring pleasure. However, affectation and exploration of the objects in the world is, in reality, what would allow the psychic apparatus to feel any pleasure.

Palavras-chave : Psycho-analysis; Phallus; Creativity; Helplessness; Trauma.
