DURSKI, Ligia Maria  y  PINHEIRO, Nadja Nara Barbosa. Annihilation and mutilation - different psychic dilemmas discussed from “Wolf Man” and “Little Hans”. Rev. bras. psicanál [online]. 2014, vol.48, n.3, pp. 176-184. ISSN 0486-641X.

This paper develops a parallel between what we named “annihilation” and “mutilation”, from particularities of the cases of Wolf Man and Little Hans, reported by Freud. It is a didactic exercise, as it were, to clarify the specific difference between some implications relating to the castration complex and to some “beyond the castration complex” - in other words, between psychic dilemmas whose emphasis is on a “total loss” or on a “partial loss”. The text highlights that such differentiation is not unimportant as it triggers a serious ethical questioning to the analyst. The work presented seeks to make evident the relevance of the sensitivity and of the positioning of the analyst in face of the different psychic moments and dilemmas exposed by the patient in the transferential relationship.

Palabras clave : ethics of psychoanalysis; tact; castration; Freud; Winnicott.
