GONCALVES, Ricardo César  and  CECCARELLI, Paulo Roberto. Unheimlich and transexualities. Estud. psicanal. [online]. 2020, n.54, pp. 119-129. ISSN 0100-3437.

This article addresses aspects of the theme of trans-sexuality and its relationship with Unheimlich (uncanny) presented in Freudian theory. Initially, we started with a bibliographic review of Freud's writings, looking for basic concepts to understand the masculine and feminine, as well as, the identification processes. Then, we analyze Robert Stoller's theoretical contributions to the trans-sexual phenomenon. We conclude by reiterating that the transsexual phenomenon eventually causes a feeling of strangeness in specialized professionals, by reactivating previously repressed processes. Finally, we understand that trans-sexualities are shown as a "solution", a form of "psychic survival" (MCDOUGALL, 1997).

Keywords : Unheimlich (uncanny); Trans-sexualities; Clinic.
