Abstract

PINHEIRO, Nadja Nara Barbosa. Time to dream, time to fantasize: a clinical example of dissociation and integration. Estud. psicanal. [online]. 2007, n.30, pp. 119-124. ISSN 0100-3437.

The present paper proposes a reflection on two psychological processes studied by D. W. Winnicott: dissociation and integration. Thus, a clinical case is presented in order to specify two functions related to each movement: fantasy, as a mechanism that keeps dissociation, and dream, as a symbolic bridge that leads to integration.

Keywords : Dissociation; Integration; Fantasy; Dream; Psychoanalytic Clinics.
