In contemporary practice, there is a tendency to the predominance of patients in need of a life with symbolic function, not registered in the early evolutionary steps. These are patients with traumatic fixations of a time when the psychic apparatus is still unable to meet the demands of the endogenous and exogenous vicissitudes. This work proposes a reflection on new forms of psychoanalytic practice rethought from Freud's studies through pre-Oedipal phases, to study the vicissitudes of a non-empathic and non-welcoming environment, in states of helplessness expressed by psychosomatic symptoms or additions. This environment, which was non-provider in early life, may be propitious to toxic neuroses, or eating disorder, among many other pathologies. In this paper, we will discuss a case of psychic helplessness with psychosomatic symptoms and the use of virtual communication as a way to express suffering.

Palabras clave : Contemporary psychoanalytic clinic; Helplessness; Freudian metapsychology; Sexual drive; Virtual communication.
