DAIBERT, Daniela de Oliveira Martins Mendes  e  CALDAS, Heloisa. The imperative of superego enjoyment and its connection with women's insatiable demand for love. Rev.Mal-Estar Subj [online]. 2012, vol.12, n.3-4, pp. 583-606. ISSN 1518-6148.

The theorization of the concept of superego by Freud is of great importance for the clinical practice of psychoanalysis. Freud worked with the triad: parricide, guilt and punishment since the beginning of his psychoanalytic theory until the formalization of the concept, in 1923. In the course of Lacan's readings, the symbolic superego as a misunderstood law is approaching the field of enjoyment, and thus, the registration of the Real. There is no total understanding of the misunderstood law, which already points to what escapes the symbolic, i.e., to the Real. To further the theoretical approaches regarding the female superego, it is essential to make use of the development of Lacan's ideas about the feminine jouissance, the Other jouissance. This latter has no beacons, is unamenable, is impossible to write, and is different from the phallic jouissance which is driven by name-the-Father. This law puts order in the capricious desire of the mother, coordinating the pure enjoyment to the phallic function. The female superego is a mask, which, in itself, is a phallic output in an attempt to deal with the enjoyment without beacons. On the other hand, the superego is an imperative of enjoyment. Given this, a question arises: linking the superego to the pulsion's gluttony, is it possible to find it in the women's infinite demand for love? The puzzling question "what does a woman want?" mark that it is impossible to meet women's demands. In this case, this demand is articulated to the Other jouissance, the one who escapes and differs from phallic pleasure. This demand does not require the same, but more and more of something else. This article aims to consider these issues in relation to the evils of love caused by women's demands for love.
