Abstract

PINHEIRO, Maria Fátima Gonçalves  and  FREIRE, Ana Beatriz. Devastation and its occurrence in clinical autism. Estilos clin. [online]. 2008, vol.13, n.24, pp. 146-165. ISSN 1415-7128.

The present article aims at analyzing the relationship between autism and devastation brought about by a case of a six-year-old child. Through S. Freud's and J. Lacan's theoretical references, the theme of devastation is analyzed as far as female sexuality and psychoses are concerned. The present analysis also examines motherly function and its relation with clinic devastation in autists.

Keywords : devastation; autism; female sexuality; psychoses; motherly function.
