Abstract

PERES, Francine Simões. Valkiria R.: a case study. Cad. psicanal. [online]. 2013, vol.35, n.28, pp. 77-90. ISSN 1413-6295.

Based on a true story reported in the play "O caso Valkiria R.", the aim of this paper is to have a reflection about the possible ways of conversion from psychic pain into physical pain, which are present in recurring complaints, in spite of the advances in modern medicine. The idea is to approach the theories of Sándor Ferenczi and Donald Winnicott, particularly when they discuss the importance of the body and of regression in the clinical setting, considering the possibility of 'being with' and 'feeling with' as intended to relieve suffering of the one who seeks help.

Keywords : Pain; body; clinic and regression.
