Abstract

BORAKS, Rahel. The capacity of being alive. Rev. bras. psicanál [online]. 2008, vol.42, n.1, pp. 112-123. ISSN 0486-641X.

Illustrated by two clinical cases, this paper’s attempt is to accompany the development and expression of the capacity of being alive in several stages of maturation. The theme is expanded by referring to Winnicott’s theory in order to outline its implications with bodily, emotional and affective experience up to the point where it reaches issues related to the patient’s and analyst’s ambivalence keeping in mind the capacity of being alive.

Keywords : Analytical relation; Vitality in Winnicott; Survival; Alive presence of the analyst; To feel itself real; To be alive.
