SILVA, Virgínia Célia Carvalho da. Beyond the intellectual deficit: a psychoanalytic perspective on dementia, weakness and psychosis. Tempo psicanal. [online]. 2020, vol.52, n.1, pp. 90-110. ISSN 0101-4838.

Cognitive deficit symptom can often bring together the categories of dementia, weakness, and psychosis. Historically, the three were confused in terms such as Kraeplin's "early dementia" or "madness of age" and Chaslin's "primitive mental confusion". In psychoanalysis, there is an important difference between the three categories. Dementia is a condition that affects subjectivity, weakness is a subjective position in relation to knowledge (savoir) and psychosis is a clinical structure. The article proposes to work these differences, indicating some perspectives of the treatment, without disregarding that the clinical bet of singularity as central focus promotes a meeting point between them.

Palabras clave : dementia; weakness; psychosis; psychoanalytic clinic.
