OGAKI, Henrique Abe  e  SEI, Maíra Bonafé. The paternal function in children's clinic. Estilos clin. [online]. 2015, vol.20, n.2, pp.269-309. ISSN 1415-7128.  https://doi.org/10.11606/issn.1981-1624.v20i2p296-309.

The objective of this paper is to discuss the importance of the paternal function in children's development and clinic. Such function may be understood, in psychoanalysis, as responsible for the support of the mother and the introduction of the limits needed for good emotional development. In Marcelo's case, the therapist takes this role, helping in organization and embracing a rigid position that supports the limits for the boy, starting from the established bond. This type of intervention brought positive results in this case, so that stands out the importance of the paternal function and the possibility of the therapist to take this role when it is necessary.

Palavras-chave : psychoanalysis; paternal function; child psychotherapy; Winnicott.
