COSTA, Gley Pacheco. Contemporary psychoanalytic psychopathologie: helplessness clinic. Rev. bras. psicanál [online]. 2008, vol.42, n.2, pp. 89-102. ISSN 0486-641X.

Having present the evolution of the practice since Freud’s hysterics, the author emphasizes the change observed in the current clinic, predominating patients that lack of a symbolic life as result of a setting to a stage of the development where the mental apparatus is unable to answer by itself to endogenous and exogenous stimulations, generating a helplessness experience when he cannot count on the aid of an empatic environment. Under the heading of the helplessness clinic, patients with autistic traces, the toxic and traumatic neurosis, psychosomatic diseases, traumatophylias, addictions, eating disorders, sleeping disorders, bonds of violence, promiscuity and other pathologies that differ from neurosis, psychosis and perversions according to a clinical, technical and theoretical point of view. To give account of these pathologies, it is imposed need of a new paradigm capable to extend psychoanalysis for a mind whose logic is not more of the pleasure-displeasure of a represented erogeneity, but the tension-relief of discharges, much more primitive, dismissed of subjectivity.
