CASSORLA, Roosevelt M. S.. Gouging out the eyes: reflections on denialism. J. psicanal. [online]. 2021, vol.54, n.101, pp. 35-55. ISSN 0103-5835.

The text aims to study denialism from the psychoanalytic point of view. Initially it is studied mythical characters proposing that Liriope, Oedipus and Jocasta "turn a blind eye" to reality. Next, clinical situations are discussed in which patients deform the perception of reality by attacking their perception apparatus, in particular vision. The clinical study is articulated with the approach of social denialism. It is proposed that situations what are denied are replaced by new realities based on lying narratives that seek to recover idealized ancestral myths. Aspects of the analytic training are also discussed. The work is completed by warning of the risk of denying the dangers posed by the fanatical denialist.

Palavras-chave : denialism; denial; disavowal; vision; psychoanalyst training.
