BICALHO, Clovis Figueiredo Sette. Panic syndrome: overwhelming anguish? Nosologia symptom?. Estud. psicanal. [online]. 2009, n.32, pp. 45-50. ISSN 0100-3437.

The purpose of this text is to question the culture of ilusion and how it trys to cover the structural failure. The author searches the origin of the word, defining anxiety from Freud’s work in a cronologic way, passing by many contemporary authors that have written about psychical structure and the possible way out for anxiety.
