Abstract

POSTERNAK, Leonardo. Now, I was the king: temporal anachronism of children. Rev. bras. psicanál [online]. 2017, vol.51, n.4, pp. 125-140. ISSN 0486-641X.

The pediatric look at the contemporary child must be less incomplete and naive. Our training leads us to an excessive objectivity, which represents both a paradox and a dangerous situation, because our task is based on intersubjective relations. Children must leave the status of a protected object in order to develop themselves as a subject of desire, rights, and language. An acute listening becomes an essential tool in our clinical practice. Besides the listening, an aware and qualified look is also crucial. The collaboration between pediatrics and child psychoanalysis is a bridge to be built. It would bring a lot of gain to children because it would put an end to the divergences that arise from the observers' different looks. These views are either supported or not by their specific disciplines. Children may be more readable for what they teach us, demand from us, and induce us to do.

Keywords : anachronism; atemporality; ethics; freedom; subjectivity; playing; education; pathologization; medicalization.
