Abstract

MAGGI, Noeli Reck. The adopted child and the psychoanalysis: the identificatory register and the sources in the symbolization process. Estud. psicanal. [online]. 2009, n.32, pp. 141-146. ISSN 0100-3437.

The present paper approaches the early marks since the constitution of the human psyche in children who are adopted and makes reference to clinical cases in which the transferential associations disclose the possibility of a retranscription of the patient’s personal history. The paper elicits elements of the psyche formation and symptomatic manifestations that can be revealed upon the loss of the early maternal object. The theoretical analysis and the illustration through clinical cases are based on the psychoanalysis, especially in the perspective of Piera Aulagnier, Françoise Dolto, Donald Winnicott and Silvia Bleichmar.
