JORGE, Joaquim Alberto. "We have art in order not to die of the truth" (or simply Luiza). Winnicott e-prints [online]. 2015, vol.10, n.1, pp. 1-08. ISSN 1679-432X.

From the Winnicott ideas "psychotherapy should normally be made by the overlap of two areas of playing, the patient and the therapist" and "if the patient is unable to play, the therapist will help him to become able" because "it is through the creative apperception, the individual feels life as worth living", I discuss the Luiza history showing her sadness and apathy toward the world when the Guardian Council withdraw her from the maternal environment and led her to a refuge house where she remained available for adoption. Furthermore, this work presents the analysis path which started with her loneliness and hopelessness and with mismatches until the discovery of music which gave to Luiza the opportunity to experience creative living and thus to rescue the feeling of hopefulness and especially the desire to continue living.

Palabras clave : Winnicott; playing; hopefulness; music; adoption.
