Abstract

ALMEIDA, Beatriz Helena Martins de. The woman who does not exist in the social: interchange: a case of paranoia. Estilos clin. [online]. 2005, vol.10, n.19, pp. 122-131. ISSN 1415-7128.

In this article, revering to the clinical case of paranoia attended in therapeutic accompaniment, in consideration of the theoretical referential system of Lacans Psychoanalysis, I was locating the mechanisms that are present in the resolutions that lead to the exit of the crisis and like this, direct the treatment in direction of a social interchange. I emphasised the theoretical articulation of the identification. I tried to demonstrate like the identification to the paternal attributes supported the patient in the social interchange for a long period. The traumatic event then advanced the imaginary dissolution. The imaginary rehandling of the signifiers, ones identified to the motherly attributes, made the exit of the crisis possible and caused the stabilization. However, it was insufficient to sustain the social interchange and indicates the necessity of a step more towards it.
