Abstract

ALIZADE, Marian. Primal Femininity: structural femininity. Rev. bras. psicanál [online]. 2008, vol.42, n.4, pp. 153-160. ISSN 0486-641X.

Primal femininity undergrounds the first sensual identifications and dynamics.The mother develops with her-his child a special passive femininity where, following Freud´s words (1905- p. 792) takes place “a kind of orgasm”. This primal surrender is the first outline of femininity in every human being. Rejection of femininity has strong cultural roots. The fourth complemental serie (Alizade, 2004) stresses the importance of cultural factors in the psyche. Structural femininity is the consequence of the end of the Oedipus complex and builds up in women psyche both, the lone psychic space and the non-maternal psychic space. This paper considers both spaces and shows its effects in women development and mental health.

Keywords : Structural femininity; Oedipus complex; Non-maternal psychic space; Lone psychic space; Fourth complemental serie.
