BARRA, Maria Beatriz. The Psychoanalytic clinic and an ambulatory for teenagers in conflict with the law. Estud. pesqui. psicol. []. 2007, 7, 3. ISSN 1808-4281.

This work derives from the investigative psychoanalysis postulated by Freud and Lacan what takes a subject the passage to an infringement act, mainly the crimes named as "Oedipian" by Lacan, from his own speech produced by the subject in the singularity of his act. As we listened to a large number of subjects in this setting, it appeared that the decision to commit this type of crime stemmed from the presence of lingering feeling of guilt and oppression. The clinic determined that punishment was a way to relieve the subject of the feeling associated with the guilty act. By way of punishment, the subject pays society what he owes. This is a form of justice. However, there is something that remains priceless in this process. That is, the act of psychoanalysis itself, as the device which offers the subject relief. In this way the subject is able to respond to that which eludes him. This study was performed and articulated by a psychoanalyst in a public clinic and obviously outlines and supports the psychoanalyst's own position
