Em maio de 1973, Michel Foucault veio, pela primeira vez, a Belo Horizonte. Seus primeiros compromisso e encontro de trabalho ocorreram no Hospital Espírita André Luiz, onde uma multidão o esperava, ocupando todos os espaços dos jardins e da sala onde estava previsto que pronunciaria uma conferência versando sobre temas contidos em seu livro A história da loucura.

Depois de apresentar as formulações de Michel Foucault em Os Anormais, destacando a presença do monstro judiciário, do pequeno masturbador e da criança indisciplinada na gênese da noção de anormal, e mostrando como a psiquiatria deixa de operar como uma terapêutica para exercer uma função disciplinar, a autora recorre à psicanálise de Freud e Lacan para diferenciar a criança foucaultiana e a criança freudiana, bem como a responsabilização jurídica e a responsabilização subjetiva. Para marcar os pontos de conjunção e disjunção entre Foucault e a psicanálise, o artigo faz uma apresentação e discussão teórica do tema em questão. Finaliza ao concluir que, a ter de escolher entre os dois discursos, fica com os dois, já que Foucault nos é importantíssimo para a discussão da luta antimanicomial e para uma reflexão crítica sobre questões ligadas à saúde mental, enquanto a psicanálise é indispensável como clínica.

Sendo fálica toda lógica sexual, é mister verificar a exclusão do Outro gozo, dito feminino, ao que não resta, sob o discurso sexual, possibilidade de relação, dado o privilégio do Mesmo. O amor homossexual, não obstante, insiste, vinculando, no sexo masculino, mãe e criança, por meio da eleição de objeto narcísica, que projeta o ideal materno sobre o parceiro, enquanto subverte a lógica das identificações. Com o intuito de situar o papel do falo no interior da dinâmica homossexual de relação, orienta-se este artigo, por meio da revisão da teoria freudo-lacaniana sobre o tema, para o estudo do caso de Jean Genet. Genet descreve, em seu Diário de um ladrão, um funcionamento que ilustra o mecanismo da inversão, que parte do tema do amor do próprio rival e avança pelo rebaixamento da insígnia fálica à condição de fetiche, desvelando a particularidade da arquitetura do estilo homossexual de desejar.

Esse artigo apresenta um estudo sobre a constituição da Psicologia da Saúde no Brasil por meio de ferramentas teórico-metodológicas da Teoria Ator-Rede. Como recurso metodológico, foram investigados os programas de pós-graduação no Brasil em Psicologia da Saúde e a Associação Brasileira de Psicologia da Saúde. Buscou-se, ainda, apresentar e discutir o modo como a Psicologia da Saúde aparece nas produções desenvolvidas nos programas de pós-graduação. O estudo mostra que a Psicologia da Saúde no Brasil tem se configurado como subcampo. Nos diferentes lugares investigados por essa pesquisa foram encontradas formas distintas de configuração da Psicologia da Saúde, as quais estão permeadas de controvérsias, debates e disputas. O estudo evidencia pontos de convergências que sinalizam para uma singularidade, em especial a questão da interdisciplinaridade, a busca do status de cientificidade, a construção de redes de associações e o enfoque na prevenção e promoção da saúde.

This text approaches the theme of love partnerships based on Freudian and Lacanian psychoanalysis, without disregarding, therefore, that there is no norm for sexual intercourse and that if there is autoerotic pleasure, love acts against it by favoring an open access for the Other. It was decided to weave considerations from certain modes of functioning of love partnerships in neurosis and psychosis. The focus on psychosis is some way more amplified, with the purpose of stating that these subjects have the possibility of love, opposing to whatever one may think. Therefore, Camille Claudel is summoned to the scene, in search of teachings on what is called by Lacan as “dead love”, in disagreement with life, characteristic of the psychosis, experienced in the partnership of Camille with August Rodin.

This article discusses, in the context marked by the Covid-19 pandemic, the relationship between the work of psychologists and technology. Based on the analysis of the double role of Psychology as science and profession, historically constructed and reproduced, the text proposes a critical analysis of the intensified use of Information and Communications Technology (ICT), especially regarding the activity of individual clinical care as a kind of service in clear expansion in the current context, due to the restrictions imposed because of the pandemic. As a preliminary result, it is observed an unprecedented growth of registration numbers of psychologists interested in providing online care, as much as the actions of the professional councils aiming to inspect such practices and prevent the misuse of technology. In this scenario, we stress the risks of the uberization of the psychologist’s work, and a shrinking of the professional field.

This paper proposes to analyze essential points about Freud’s demarche (mode of procedure) in the theoretical construction of transference. The aim, based on Freud’s original ideas is to identify the origin of the transference phenomenon, which, in his clinical scenario, became one of his fundamental conceptions. For that purpose, a literature review was carried out to investigate the epistemology of Freud’s ideas, his models as well as the physicochemical-energetic referents. Such models and referents constituted the structure of Freud’s methodological foundation in the development of the metapsychology, which, in turn, became one of the references to understand the transference phenomenon. The present paper may contribute to the research processes approaching the transference topic as its origin, models, and referents displayed here are framed within Freud’s original ideas, which are imperative to its theorization.

This paper addresses the concept of a good enough caregiver. Such notion is based on the view of IRDI (Clinical Risk Indicators for Child Development) methodology indicators according to Winnicott’s approach. We seek to understand in what ways daycare children caregivers facilitate the maturational processes of the babies they care for, based on D. W. Winnicott’s theory of emotional development. It is understood that daycare centres caregivers play a significant role in the psychic constitution of babies, considering they provide an extension to processes such as integration, personalization and socialization. When acting out in a good enough manner, they help to create a sense of continuity and their role substitutes that of the babies’ primordial caregiver, often performed by the mother figure. Because their work has a potentially constitutive role in children’s lives, it becomes clear not only that these professionals need specialized training, but how relevant this training is. 

We wonder if linking the Covid-19 pandemic to the signifier “war” could wither away the legal force of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, hitting it to its core: human dignity. We pick up on Clausewitz’s considerations, for whom war consists of the continuation of politics rather than of an unexpected episode, to get to Foucault, who unveils that power relations produce a regulation of life and death, what cast us again in the field of vulnerability, one that the war metaphor either arouses and conceals. At the dramatic moment of the pandemic, the call for war, the supportive call against a common enemy, although justified as an emergency measure and necessary appeal, may also be of avail as the necropolitics obverse (Mbembe, 2016), the visible death produced by the virus enshrouding the invisible death of the excluded and disposable, the usual “killable” ones.

Community Social Psychology (CSP) seeks to develop psychosocial interventions that contribute to the suppression of social inequalities within our reality. As well as CSP, the Theatre of the Oppressed (TO) put forward an artistic and political activity committed to social reality transformation. We aim to present possible associations and contributions from the Theatre of the Oppressed to the field of CSP, highlighting lived through events concerning the gender oppression still experienced by countless women within Brazilian society. A narrative literature review was undertaken in order to contextualize central dimensions of TO, which may favour the practice of psychologists in situations of exploitation and oppression. We consider TO as a method and a powerful tool for a CSP praxis committed to the transformation of society towards political and human emancipation.

The aim of this paper is to present the results of a cognitive-behavioral therapy clinical case report of a young man with domestic violence issues. The subject shows depressive symptoms that affect him on a personal, academic and social level. Furthermore, he shows fear and anxiety about several social situations in which he may fall under the scrutiny from other people, and worries about the likelihood of behaving in an embarrassing manner. With the psychological assessment, the subject was diagnosed with depression and social phobia, and cognitive-behavioral therapy based on Beck´s Cognitive Model of Depression and Clark & Wells’s Cognitive Model for Social Anxiety were started off. The results of the intervention were positive, indicating the importance of cognitive-behavioral therapy in this kind of disorders.

In the context of a predominance of evaluative and surveillance practices which fall upon various domains of contemporary life, this article aims to elucidate the erasing of exception paths and effects on contemporaneity from a psychoanalytic standpoint. From the ancient master’s discourse to the modern master’s discourse, academic and capitalist, the knowledge obtained by utility and value measures starts to direct political and individual decisions, previously guided by tradition. In the face of this reality, the bureaucratic administration gear towards the subjects, striving for homogenizing and subordinating them to the modern ideal of transparency, guaranteed by the knowledge extracted and decoded by the evaluation apparatus. Psychoanalysis garners the effects from this contemporary social bond, but, in a distinct way from that of the dominant discourse, offers another destiny to the intimate, to the jouissance that can be neither accounted for, nor homogenized.

This article characterizes the world view of Jungian psychology based on the concept of unus mundus. A sample with articles by Jung, his commentators and authors of Quantum Physics was analyzed using Jungian hermeneutics. The results were organized according to the following analysis categories: “the invisible plane underlying the empirical level of reality as totality and unity”, “the invisible plane as the source of creation and movement”, “the invisible plane as marked by non-locality” and “the psyche and the invisible plane.” The main conclusion that can be drawn is one of a worldview in which the empirical reality is seen as grounded in an implied/invisible order which is considered to be a source of creation, movement, unity, non-causal connection and unconditioned by time and space. Archetype is considered a “bridge” between the psyche and the invisible order, and synchronicity as evidence of this connection.

This article aims to discuss the arrival of adolescence for the autistic subject, and the implications arising from this period of life, having psychoanalysis as theoretical reference. Initially, adolescence is conceptualized. In a second moment, it articulates the autist’s adolescence and the concept of invention. In order to do so, it gets hold of the concepts of Freud-and-Lacan-oriented authors’ works and uses the documentary account of Owen Suskind’s history to address the particularities of their passage through adolescence.

This article seeks to apprehend the processes involved in the constitution of the autistic body for which there is not the Other as a reference. In the light of Daniel Tammet’s testimony, a British author and autistic writer, it will be possible to elucidate the place of objects for autistic people and how the autistic person’s interest in the out-of-body object allows them to build their edge, acting as a protective resource against bodily disturbances, anguish and isolation. Thus, investment in external objects results in a reduction in the incidence on the non-interconnected body of enjoyment, opening the possibility for the field of the Other. The objectives are to examine the concept of body in psychoanalysis in relation to autism, to investigate the constitution of the autistic body from the psychoanalytic theory and, finally, to identify the effects on the body of interest for autistic objects.
