Abstract

SCHAFFA, Sandra Lorenzon. Between violence and emptiness: listening to the feminine. Rev. bras. psicanál [online]. 2008, vol.42, n.4, pp. 55-66. ISSN 0486-641X.

The text deals with the challenge to analytical work by the feminine, considered as a focal point to approach emptiness in analysis. A case is considered where the predominance of emptiness in the clinical situation implies from a technical point of view on effects of dissolution of the analytical word. The author proposes a discussion of this modality of resistance, for which she suggests the term barrage. This expression is considered as determined by the feminine and takes into consideration archaic drives that ignore the repressive dimension of the analytical word. The technical question on emptiness, ignoring lack and castration, which escapes the activity of representation, will reveal the importance of auto-erotism in the handling of transference.

Keywords : Feminine; Maternal; Emptiness; Autoerotism; Transference.
