FERNANDES, Josefa Maria Dias da Silva. Trichotillomania in the psychoanalysis of a child. J. psicanal. [online]. 2017, vol.50, n.92, pp. 195-208. ISSN 0103-5835.

The author presents some clinical vignettes after being touched by the psychoanalytic experience with a patient: a child with trichotillomania from early age. The dialogue gradually enables subjectivity to be created and restored by using the symbolic representation of what was innominate. Contributions from psychoanalytic authors enlighten the conjectures about the emotions the psychoanalytic pair - analyst and analysand - have experienced. The author emphasizes that it is vital for the psychoanalyst's work in the session his contact with both his patient's and his own inner world. In this contact, feeling and thinking are combined.

Keywords : trichotillomania; psychoanalytic dialogue; emotional experience; symbolization; subjectivity.
