Abstract

VOLICH, Rubens M.. Mythologies: clinical perspectives of integration and disintegration movements. J. psicanal. [online]. 2013, vol.46, n.85, pp. 141-157. ISSN 0103-5835.

the integration and disintegration dynamics are inherent to all forms of life. In the human being, they assume unexpected and surprising manifestations. From the first moments of conception, during the intrauterine life, throughout the development and even in the death process, these dynamics fake the existence of each one, shaping the body and the subjectivity. We live and we develop throughout those dynamics, in which interact in a permanent way organization processes, promoting life, and disorganization ones, which lead to death, for example in cell proliferation and apoptosis, in neoplastic processes of indifference, in the complexity of the psychic functions and the dissolution of thought and desire, among many others. From this perspective - suggested by Freud in his second theory of drives ("our mythology", as he said), we glimpse the experiences of pleasure and pain, the physical, psychological, motor and even social symptomatic manifestations. The clinic offers us not only a privileged place for the observation of integration and disintegration processes, but also a relational tool to handle and transform many of the effects of those manifestations. Between the therapeutic pair or in the loneliness moments of impossible relationship, life and death manifest themselves through different shades of transference and counter transfers, which we'll seek to recognize and understand in this work.
