Abstract

SUANNES, Cláudia Amaral Mello. Daisy disappeared: notes on a case of extended practice. J. psicanal. [online]. 2012, vol.45, n.82, pp. 175-189. ISSN 0103-5835.

This paper is a discussion of a case handled by me as a legal psychologist in a child custody case. Using André Green’s article The Dead Mother and Pierre Fédida’s The Melancholy Cannibal, I analyze the peculiarities of maternal identification present in the case of a woman that, living in a psychic framework marked by mental states of emptiness, cannot be a mother to her children.

Keywords : Femininity; Maternity; Identification; Melancholy; Maternidad.
