Abstract
LEVY, Robert. Impossible without anxiety.Translated byInesita Machado. Estilos clin. [online]. 2004, vol.9, n.16, pp. 28-35. ISSN 1415-7128.
The object is linked to anxiety as soon as birth. Though there is a dissymmetry towards the relationship to the object, meanwhile anxiety links mother and child. From the childs point of view, taken into his narcissism, outside cannot be thought. From the mothers point of view, the child can only be thought as somebody taking the place of something else than himself. Consequently, the child is therefore lost as an object of the loss of his mother. Anxiety creates the object, and we could nearly say that there is no other object than the one taking consistence while lowering anxiety. There is a necessity to envisage a certain type of illusion so that the child be able to perceive the world and a certain type of disillusionment so that the child takes a real consistence for his mother.
