POSSATTO, Maria Cristina. Luna, a stricken personality: report and comments on a clinical case. Rev. bras. psicanál [online]. 2021, vol.55, n.3, pp. 109-122. ISSN 0486-641X.

The purpose of this paper is to report and comment on a clinical experience in which the envious mental state, as an external manifestation of the death drive, had a prominent place. The common thread chosen by the author highlighted the predominance of destructive impulses, which, in addition to causing much suffering to the analysand, manifested themselves through attacks on the psychoanalytic bond. She conjectured that the failure of the continuity of the therapeutic relationship was due to an intolerance to receptive dependence, since the connection was experienced as humiliation. The author commented on the implication and obscurity of the concept of death drive, underlying the concepts used to understand the case.

Palavras-chave : death drive; moral masochism; envy; attacks on linking; receptive dependence.
