Abstract

HALPERIN, Celso. Auto eroticism, narcissism, and the integrative function of illusion. Rev. bras. psicanál [online]. 2018, vol.52, n.1, pp. 98-111. ISSN 0486-641X.

This paper supports the fundamental role of illusion in the process of ego integration (new psychic action). To that end, the author wonders about the possibility of the splitting of the Ego itself being a manifestation of a primary structure, which is not pathological, and which exists in normal development since the auto eroticism. This primary structure seeks integration, at different levels, through illusion. Furthermore, this author analyzes the presence of the phenomenon of illusion in fundamental psychoanalytic concepts. The conclusion of this paper brings a reading of Freud in which he advises us not exactly about the dangers of illusion, but about the danger of submission to an external illusion instead of building one's own illusory system (symbolic system).

Keywords : illusion; auto eroticism; narcissism; integration; split.
