Abstract

ALMEIDA, Maíra Lopes; FREIRE, Joyce Gonçalves  and  PROCHNO, Caio César Souza Camargo. A review of child psychoanalysis and the notion about the symptom: contributions to alternative practices. Estilos clin. [online]. 2016, vol.21, n.2, pp. 302-320. ISSN 1415-7128.  http://dx.doi.org/http//dx.doi.org/0.11606/issn.1981-1624.v21i2p302-320.

The treatment of children was possible when the infant started to climb its space in psychoanalytic practice. Freud opened this possibility, followed by Anna Freud and Melanie Klein, who cleaved the symptom in two distinct understandings. Thus, we revise the historical concepts of symptom interlaced to the contemporary matter of that as a disorder, a notion that sustains the paradigm of medicalization and produces increasingly early, very high numbers of children in use of psychotropic drugs. We problematize the contributions of psychoanalysis to understanding the notion of symptom in the current times which gags the person and excludes him/her of his/her own suffering.

Keywords : psychoanalysis; childhood; symptoms; history.
