NAFFAH NETO, Alfredo. In first person. Nat. hum. []. 2019, 21, 2, pp.211-219. ISSN 1517-2430.

This article takes into account a published text written by Zeliko Loparic in order to discuss the process of regression to dependence in borderline patients, in Winnicott's clinical psychoanalysis. For this purpose, it recovers the etymological meaning of the word subject, in order to describe what could be understood as subject alienation (caused by environmental failures) and the recovering of the subject in the first person, by means of the processes of regression to dependence. The article finishes making considerations about healthy human temporality and its pathological version, when parts of the personality are frozen in time.

: subject; subject alienation; temporality; maturation.
