CUPA, Dominique; RIAZUELO, Hélène  and  BERLINER, Claudia. Affection in André Green's clinical thought. Rev. bras. psicanál [online]. 2013, vol.47, n.3, pp. 79-88. ISSN 0486-641X.

André Green establishes the foundations of his thoughts on affection from a critique of the notions of Freudian and Post-Freudian texts, showing, as such, his concern in fitting into a story, while insisting on the structural aspect of the matter. He also proposes an alternative to the Lacanian model, exploring the resources consecutive to the exclusion, by Lacan, of affection in the heart of his theory. The authors resume the main components of affection according to Green, specially its unconscious aspect, in order to show that his work in clinical thought allows him to specify the functioning of affection. Three important examples of André Green's clinical thought were chosen: the mother's negative hallucination, passion and the cases of indiscrimination of affection/representation.

Keywords : affection; clinical thought; unconscious; negative hallucination; passion; states of indiscrimination.
