PENOT, Bernard. The mother as a “third-party”, in après-coup, to make the girl a woman. J. psicanal. [online]. 2009, vol.42, n.77, pp.207-214. ISSN 0103-5835.

Freud (1932) established that, to become a woman, the girl had to carry out a “change of object”. Undoubtedly more than the boy, she has to forego a genuine transference of the primary libidinal relation she had with her mother onto her father. However, this transference has to be followed in after-effect (après-coup) by another process that will determine its outcome. Indeed, the very fact that the father has become the girl’s preferred libidinal object means that the mother will have to intervene as a “third-party” in order to mediate efficiently this new father-daughter libidinal relationship. Some clinical vignettes will be used to illustrate this point.
