Abstract

ZERBINATTI, Bruna Paola. Building bridges with Isabela: the work of figurability. J. psicanal. [online]. 2017, vol.50, n.93, pp. 127-134. ISSN 0103-5835.

This paper starts from a clinical experience. The author's purpose is to think theoretically about what she has both experienced and observed in her sessions with Isabela, a nine-year-old patient. In order to build her theory, the author uses the concept of figurability as it has been proposed by César and Sara Botella, based in Freud's work in "The interpretation of dreams". In this paper, the author establishes connections between clinical experience, theory, and the writing of this clinical case, by discussing the work of figurability as either a diachronic work or a "relational miracle", as it was called by Jay Greenberg.

Keywords : figurability; dream; construction.
