LO BIANCO, Anna Carolina  e  CASTRO-ARANTES, Juliana. Body and finitude: Body image and narcissist restoration. Psicol. clin. [online]. 2021, vol.33, n.1, pp. 185-196. ISSN 0103-5665.  http://dx.doi.org/10.33208/PC1980-5438v0033n01A09.

This article investigates the matter of body changes and what they raise in terms of clinical interventions which can be established from that. Initially, it is focused on the operation that establishes the body image and its dimension of a constituent operation of the subject. It then seeks to situate the effects of changes in body image on the subject, precisely the subject that is subject to the body that constitutes it as such. At this point the question is raised of the therapeutic resources that can be used in the clinic with patients who have suffered alterations of the body image, in the sense of restoring the operation that constitutes and maintains the body image and narcissism, inasmuch as they touch on the essential problem for psychoanalysis, which is the subject's desire. The text thus deals with the encounter with the sick body, within the limits that it imposes on the living, and the clinic that has then the chance of being established - a clinic that, aiming at the subject of desire, is constantly concerned with what is involved of essential in it, which is the question of the analytical act that makes it appear as subject.
