Abstract

COUTO, Daniela Paula do. Freud, Klein, Lacan and the constitution of the subject. Psicol. pesq. [online]. 2017, vol.11, n.1, pp. 1-2. ISSN 1982-1247.  http://dx.doi.org/10.24879/201700110010094.

The ideas of Sigmund Freud, Melanie Klein and Jacques Lacan about the subjective constitution are presented, highlighting how they contributed to the child being considered a subject and not just an object of intervention. Through listening to his adult patients, Freud theorized the development of infantile sexuality from the libidinal organization in psycho-sexual phases. But psychoanalysis of children gained precise contours from Klein, who nursed small children and theorized aspects of the early stages of baby development, establishing the preoedipal field. Lacan rescued the term subject from philosophy, giving it a new conception: the subject is not the individual, on the contrary, it is a subject marked by the conscious / unconscious  division.

Keywords : Freud, Klein, Lacan, constitution of the subject.
