FEITOSA FILHO, Odimar A.. A psychoanalytic look about muscle dysmorphia. Rev. Subj. [online]. 2014, vol.14, n.1, pp. 162-171. ISSN 2359-0769.
The article deals with a type of body dysmorphic disorder, popularly known as "muscle dysmorphia". Intends to try understand its etiology through the freudian-lacanian psychoanalytic theory. Thus we find that the isolation of this set of symptoms in psychiatry with pretensions to create in the DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) a new disorder, is actually related to the subject's fundamental disagreement with his body image. Further, it is analyzed the subject's relation to castration, the Oedipus complex, the sexuation, and the contemporary body ideals, as well as demonstrates that muscle dysmorphia is a symptom of the subject that emerges as a response to the malaise in contemporary culture.
