Abstract

CALZAVARA, Maria Gláucia Pires. Anna Freud and Melanie Klein: the symptom as adaptation or solution?. Tempo psicanal. [online]. 2013, vol.45, n.2, pp. 323-338. ISSN 0101-4838.

This article takes as its point of departure a question on the symptom that emerges in the clinical practice with children and in academic discussions of clinical cases. Does this practice favor the formation of the symptom and its articulation with the drive dimension or is it merely a practice of social adaptation of the symptom? We will begin at the new drive theory proposed by Freud in 1920, trying to highlight how this formulation caused a slight change in relation to the symptom, focusing here in the clinic with children of the pioneers Anna Freud and Melanie Klein.

Keywords : symptom; clinic with children; adaptation.
