REIS DA SILVA MENDONCA, Júlia. The recourse to the drug as a malaise in civilization. Psicol. rev. (Belo Horizonte) [online]. 2011, vol.17, n.2, pp.240-260. ISSN 1677-1168.

This article aims to locate the use of drugs in relation to the function performed by the Father. Thus, the objective of this study is to show the passage of the Freudian theory of drug use that concerns the Father, instead of the Ideal, to drug abuse in the context of the malaise of civilization, where the superegoic need arises for the subjects. Our purpose is to understand the use of drugs in the clinic of neurosis, as well as highlight how Freud develops the subject-drug relation throughout his teaching, in line with the theory of drives. Firstly, it describes the use of drugs as the recovery of pulsional satisfaction - when there is an over-regulation operated by the superego - and, secondly, as a resource that seeks to lessen the severity and ferocity of the superego’s demand for satisfaction

Palavras-chave : Drug use; paternal function; superego; psychoanalysis.
