Abstract

BARISON, Osvaldo Luís. Black canticle: the clinical use of the death instinct concept. Rev. bras. psicanál [online]. 2020, vol.54, n.1, pp. 83-98. ISSN 0486-641X.

The concept of death instinct and its use in a clinical case of a drug user is discussed. An overview of its announcement and the difficulties in accepting and using it, is made, indicating its central role in non-neurotic pathologies. It is conjectured about the elaboration of the constitution of the psychic apparatus and speculated about the paradigm shift in psychoanalysis from the introduction of the new instinctual dualism.

Keywords : death instinct; drug addiction; non-neurosis; psychic constitution; clinical use.
