Abstract

AZEVEDO, Berta Hoffmann. Das Unheimliche in the body: reflections based on non-epileptic seizures. J. psicanal. [online]. 2012, vol.45, n.82, pp. 161-174. ISSN 0103-5835.

This paper is about the uncanny feeling about their own body, referred to by patients diagnosed with non-epileptic seizures. Based on Freud’s studies of the Unheimliche on the aesthetic field, this paper brings the concept of its clinical potential and presents a fragment of a case in which such felling is presented and analyzed. The clinical case presents both the concept of the Unheimliche working clinically and the hysteria, still alive in its most spectaculars manifestations.

Keywords : Non-epileptic seizures; Unheimlich; Psychoanalysis.
