A bar in the desert. Symmetric
and assymetric aspects in the treatment of difficult
adolescent patients
Stefano Bolognini, Bologna
The author considers the opportunity
of specific alternate moments of symmetric-asymmetric
relationship (which are to be contained in a classic
asymmetric frame) to facilitate analytical work, and
to allow interpretations with an analysand who is
usually afraid of dependence, hostile to the Super-Ego
representatives, being in need of non declared containment
and of a basic contribution to the Self cohesion,
as the adolescent patient is.
The clinical story illustrates this specific way of
working, quite different from the one commonly adopted
in adult patients analysis.
For instance, the analyst must be able to temporarily
renounce, sometimes for a long period, to too frequent
and brilliant interpretations that would underline
the adult's superiority, hard to be tolerated by the
adolescent.
El bar en el desierto. Aspectos simétricos
y asimétricos en el tratamiento de pacientes
adolescentes difíciles
El autor considera la oportunidad de una alterancia
adecuada de momentos de simetria y de asimetria en
la relación analítica (a pesar, de precisar
ser mantenida, dentro de un encuadre clásico
de asimetria) para facilitar el trabajo y permitir
interpretaciones con un analisando que, en general,
está asustado con la dependencia, y hostil
a los representantes super egoicos, tienen necesidad
de una contención no declarada y de una contribuición
de base para la coesión del self, como es el
paciente adolescente.
La historia clínica narrada ilustra este modo
específico de trabajar, bien diferente del
modo comunmente adoptado en el análisis de
pacientes adultos.
El analista precisa ser capaz, por ejemplo, a vezes
por largos períodos, de renunciar a interpritaciones
muy frequentes o brillantes que resaltarian la superioridad
del adulto, cosa que un paciente adolescente dificilmente
poderia tolerar.

Between "going clubbing"
and the Convent: considerations on the analysis of
adolescents
Ana Maria Stucchi Vannucchi, São Paulo
In the present work, the author discusses the fundamental
questions that adolescent's analysts face in respect
to the risks that adolescence experience necessarily
presents.
I use two clinical cases as objects of study, Sonia's
and Wanda's, who although presenting almost diametric
opposed characteristics, illustrate several risky
situations, either of excess or of its opposite, inhibition
and seclusion.
I endeavor to show that the adolescent's analyst cannot
omit himself or herself when facing a potentially
risky situation for the adolescent, especially when
this entails the indiscriminate use of drugs, of his
/her own sexuality or even of his /her own life. I
believe the danger must be mentioned, delicately but
firmly. The same occurs in the other extreme, in which
inhibition to development must be pointed out, so
that the phobic aspects in relation to growth can
be elaborated and overcome. In this way, I consider
the analysis of adolescents as a double-edged knife,
in which if on one hand omission can be disastrous,
on the other a frontal confrontation can make the
work impracticable. We therefore walk on a very fine
hanging line, in which the analyst's flexibility is
of utmost importance to enable the development of
an identity at the same time defined and open to new
potentialities.
Keywords
Adolescence, risks in adolescence, excesses, inhibitions,
analyst's flexibility.

Whose desire is it?
Regina de Baptista Colucci, Marília
The reconstruction of the desire in an anorexic patient
The author proposes herself to consider the phenomena
experienced in an analytical relationship in a case
of anorexia. She starts form the perception that the
analysand did not express any desires, a fact which
reflected on their work. The life of the relationship
and even the life of the analysand became the desire
of the analyst and of the analysand's parents, whereas
the analysand, in an apparently passive manner, controlled
and affronted the setting in the same manner she affronted
herself by self imposing the symptom which brought
her to analysis. It was her conflict that acted on
the relationship. The difficulty to let the relationship
progress and the difficulty for desire indicated the
fear of being separated and alone in face of the new
and the unknown. Leaving childhood and entering preadolescence
requires a mental structure which can tolerate getting
in touch with the internal pressure of instincts and
the external pressure of the difficulties for which
it is required.
Key words
Adolescence, anorexia nervosa, mutism, negativism,
catastrophe.

The anorexic object world
and the bulimic violence of teenager girls
Marina Ramalho Miranda, São Paulo
The psychoanalytical encounter generates the perception
that anorexia and bulimia are manifestations having
origin in psychological suffering, oral symptoms which
hinds archaic anguish, linked to primitive stages
of the mind development, specially as early ruptures
with an internalized maternal image. A story of passion,
mother and daughter bound together, dependent on each
other, but at the same time feeling haunted by the
dependence which involves their relationships, fused
in a corporeal prison, in a desire perversion, in
eternal search for filling an empty interior that
comes from their violent object world, looking for
meaning to some affects printed on their body and
on their acting-out.
Key-words
Anorexia, bulimia, nourishment, mother-daughter relationship,
archaic anguish.

Pathology of Emptiness
Alicia Beatriz Dorado de Lisondo, Campinas
The pathologies of mental emptiness challenge Psychoanalysis
in the present culture of the Era of Emptiness.
The post-modern era of emptiness is characterized
by an individualism that is hedonistic, personalized
and narcissistic. It also involves apathy, generalized
seduction, legitimacy of all life styles, the coexistence
of contradictions and the inversion of ideas where
the truth is buried.
Outstanding in this scene is the destructive use of
TV and computers by promoting the substitution of
the real by the virtual.
I chose the nosological concept of mental emptiness
as a metaphysical paradigm. This permits dealing with
the various forms in which this emptiness appears
in the clinic: neo-sexualities, drug addiction, autistic
enclaves, bulimia, narcissistic pathological anorexia
and psychosomatic conditions. Mental emptiness is
a grave structural alteration
It is not only the task of therapy to make Eros weaken
muteness, but it also ought to make Thanatos more
efficient at working mutely. The technical proposal
with these patients is to edit, to permit psychic
inscription, in the transference relation instead
of re-editing.
I illustrate the hypotheses with a clinical experience
of an adolescent in analysis and a little account
from Bebês - Método Esther Bick.
Key words
Culture of Emptiness, danger of virtual reality, pathologies
of emptiness, technical reformulation in the light
of new pathologies.

Challenge of Borderline Clinic
Raquel Elisabeth Pires, São
Paulo
The present paper has the objective of examining issues
related to the technical handling of the borderline
patient; the emotional turmoil that the treatment
of these patients creates in the analyst is analysed
along with the consequences it brings to his work.
The author utilizes a few clinical vignettes to illustrate
the ideas displayed in the text.
Key words
Analytical technique, borderline, emotional mobilization,
negative capacity.

Aspects os a Primary Container
Vera L. C. Lamanno-Adamo, Campinas
Based on a clinical experience with a patient presenting
a melanoma and taking into account some formulations
by Bion, Winnicott, Dejours, Ferrari and Damasio,
the author suggests a continuous linking between body
and mind. A linking which implies transformative movements
in both directions:
body<->mind.
Based in the concept of container-contained elaborated
by Bion, it is discussed a Primary Container to summarize
a complex somatopsychic structures which maintain
psyche and soma in permanent relationship, resulting
in different levels and order of bonding. Fragments
of a clinical experience are used to illustrate these
notions.
Key words
Dynamics of linking body and mind, psychossomatic
integration, somatization, despersonalization, operational
thinking.

This paper's goal is to study the way in which Baranger,
Ogden, Renik and Ferro build their interpretations
during the analytic encounter. It evaluates, in so
far as possible, the existing coherence among their
theoretical propositions and the resulting interpretative
technique. Finally, some considerations on the subject
are also presented.

Aesthetics, implicated psychoanalysis
and critique of art
João A. Frayze-Pereira, São
Paulo
Contemporary critique of art is related to many perspectives
of different origins - in philosophy, in human sciences
and even in natural sciences. The relation with psychoanalysis
is particularly interesting because, in the 20th century,
it is verified a way of feeling, defined in affective
and emotional extents, irreducible to the aesthetics
classical references, developed between the 18th and
19th centuries. Thus, Freud is placed as an important
author to the arts and critique of the 20th century.
So, it may be questioned not only what psychoanalysis
can receive from arts and how the critique uses psychoanalysis
perspective, but mainly, what this perspective has
to offer to the contemporary critique. Moreover, considering
both of the only assays about plastic arts written
by Freud, as well as some trends of psychoanalysis
and contemporary aesthetics, it is proposed the notion
of "implicated psychoanalysis" which try
to contemplate the specificity of psychoanalytical
way of thinking, in its relation with the aesthetic
experience and with the critique.
Key words
Arts, aesthetics, critique of art, psychoanalysis

History and Genealogy of Latin-American
Psychoanalythical Ideas
Paulo Marchon, Fortaleza
By the account of his development as a psychoanalyst,
the author comments the psychoanalytical ideas that
he studied and followed in his life. He also speaks
about the arrival and the development of new ideas
and their impact in the Brazilian scenario. He focuses
on group analythical psychoterapy, lacanism, Klein's,
Bion's, Kohut's and Winnicott's influence and the
importance Ar
gentinian psychoanalysis to Latin America. He observes
the expressive development that São Paulo,
Porto Alegre, Rio, Argentina, Chile, Uruguay and other
regions of Latin America have achieved. The author
shows differences and similarities between his previous
and current work, focusing on the Kleinian "ethical
turn" theme in psychoanalysis, as well as the
evolution of Love-Eros concept to Love-Charitas, which
is intimately linked to concern in relation to the
other. He remembers Perestrello who, in 1974, already
said that there was no medicine without Charitas,
which is equivalent to love and not charity. The author
emphasizes the "ethical turn" social value.
He gives importance to forgiveness as a way the act
can reach a termination, an end.
Key words
Love-Eros, love-charitas, group psychoanalythic psychotherapy,
ethics, revenge and pardon, enlightenment, theorethic
pluralism, past and present.

Graciliano, Cabral and the
Other: about some possible therapeutic potentialities
of the relationship writer/text/reader
Roberto Barberena Graña, Porto Alegre
In this study we especially aimed at presenting a
new model of critical approach to the literary text
- starting from the psychoanalytic theory - that is
sustained in the transdisciplinarian dialogue. As
we believe that literary theory, philosophy and psychoanalysis
have each found it more and more difficult to abstract
from the intertextual support that the other can offer,
and that the three disciplines can obtain a maximum
benefit from an opening for this dialogue, we intended
to illustrate such perspective methodologically finding
our support for that on the critical study of the
relationship between the life and the work of Graciliano
Ramos.
We understood that they make up two dimensions or
forms of presentation of the author's self, which
should be read and analyzed starting from the comparison
between the autobiographical and the fictional narratives,
in an approach that lies between existence and text,
that will enable us to reach some formulations, that
we believe to be consistently based on the author's
relationship with his work which is intimately linked
to the use of writing and of reading as subjecting
activities, virtually therapeutical, ahead of the
commitment implied in the human torture/delights of
living.
Key words
Graciliano Ramos, literary theory, psychoanalysis,
philosophy, Other, pleasure, enjoyment, subjectivation.
