Abstract

AZEVEDO, Berta Hoffmann. Capture in the pain circuit: a clinical challenge. Rev. bras. psicanál [online]. 2021, vol.55, n.2, pp. 61-72. ISSN 0486-641X.

The article presents the capture in the pain circuit as a model for listening and handling clinical situations in which the analytical setting comes up against the imperative tendency to reduce tension inherent in the escape of pain, in an effort to inactivate the traumatic one. The search for metapsychological foundations rescues the concept of pain and primary erogenous masochism, to interrogate the analytical conditions to favor a minimal connection capable of supporting the inevitable tension of the psychic existence.

Keywords : pain; erogenous masochism; limit.
