Abstract

MINERBO, Marion. Noise. Silence. Working with death drive echoes. Rev. bras. psicanál [online]. 2016, vol.50, n.4, pp. 49-64. ISSN 0486-641X.

By building this paper upon two clinical vignettes, the author discusses the necessary relationship between the psychopathological processes and therapeutic strategies. The first case is characterized by a psyche that is taken by the noise of an uninterrupted collision with its internal/external object. The other case is characterized by the silence of an inner world that becomes desert. Understanding these cases and their respective psychopathological processes defines two different therapeutic strategies: deactivation of the anxiety-defense binomial (i.e., anxietydefense mechanisms) in the first case, and psychic revitalization in the second case.

Keywords : psychopathological processes; therapeutic strategies; deactivation; revitalization.
