Abstract

HECK, Fernanda Arioli  and  FROEMMING, Liliane Seide. Obsessive neurosis in childhood?: Paternal instance and the analyst's function. Cad. psicanal. [online]. 2016, vol.38, n.34, pp. 149-172. ISSN 1413-6295.

The paper investigates how the structuring process of obsessive neurosis is already underway in childhood. It addresses the etiology of obsessive neurosis, the mechanism of symptom formation and specific characteristics of the clinical work with children. It questions the feasibility of formulating a hypothesis about the structure of the subject in childhood. Another question is raised as to the possibility of the analyst restoring something about the function of the father at the point where it fails towards the subject. Our betting is that the act of power transfer may create something of a castration operation order and open ways to sustain the desire.

Keywords : Psychoanalytic clinic; Childhood; Obsessive neurosis; Paternal function.
