Abstract

FALCAO, Luciane. Child psychoanalysis: current issues and considerations on the end of the psychoanalytic process. Rev. bras. psicanál [online]. 2016, vol.50, n.3, pp. 168-183. ISSN 0486-641X.

The author proposes a reflection on discharging the patient from the psychotherapy in child psychoanalysis by using clinical vignettes and metapsychology. The author analyzes situations that lead these patients to relapse and return to psychoanalytically oriented therapy by the time of their adolescence. This paper is an attempt to understand what would be unaware of repressed memories, and the constructions and representations inside these processes. The author also presents some evolution indexes of child psychoanalysis - from the unrepresentable to the return of repressed memories. These evolution indexes enable the psychoanalyst to consider the termination of psychoanalytic processes for children.

Keywords : child psychoanalysis; discharge from psychoanalytic therapy; unrepresentable; return of repressed memories.
