We investigate the consequences in Lacan’s work considering the pluralization of the Name of the Father from the formulation of the concept of Lacanian Name of the Father in his text of 1953 The function and field of speech and language, while symbolic instance entered in the Other’s field and anchorage of subjective identification, i.e., from the issue that was introduced by Lacan in the Name of the Father, 1963, until we get to his development of the concept of Taoist Nameless present in his 20th Seminar of 1972/73 and the RSI Seminar of 1974-75, referring paradoxically, lack-to-Be, S (Ⱥ), lack of significant in the field of the Other, as a subject foundation. From this perspective, we try to indicate the displacement of the prevalence of symbolic register to the reference of the theory of knots, through a new definition of Real, discussing its implications for psychoanalytic treatment and for the insertion of psychoanalysis in culture.

The article presents some of the main reflections of Freud on the themes of war and pacifism from the text “About war and death. Current topics”, written during the First World War, the author shows how Freud included psychoanalysis in politics and how this connection requests from the analyst the maintainance of his atention facing the singular contemporaneity. It concludes that for catastrophic dimension of the psyche, we can observe today, for example, in switching to the violent act, in delinquency, in drug abuse; in totalitarism that stands above the law and fundamentalism as an instrument of divine law etc, it should be noted that the existence of these new modes of expression of symptoms tests the becoming of psychoanalysis. There is, finally, a bet: the future of psychoanalysis depends on the analysts’ responsibility to keep their work focused on the individual or collective subject of psychic dynamics, without sacrificing the rigor of Freudian concepts.

The article explores the thesis of Lacan, that the only thing one can be blamed, at least from an analytical perspective, is to have yielded to his desire. It questions what was the desire Lacan talked about. Was it the same sexual desire that Freud also spoke? It states that sexual desire, as Freud and Lacan showed us, is always contentious, since their first objects are prohibited. Desire can cause distress, every desire involves, in its origin, something denied by the subject. From this point the author continues to ask why Lacan tells us we can be blamed for yielding to desire if we refuse to some extent this desire? The answer is that we are responsible for it, even if this desire is unconscious. This means to say that the unconscious is part of us and that perhaps it is even our very essence. The author calls also attention to the fact that since the invention of psychoanalysis, Freud put us facing a reality that definitely changes the conception we have of man and his ethical dimension. It concludes that, since Freud, the man is confronted by the fact that he is no longer sovereign in his own home and he doesn’t own his deeper motives and that can be mistaken in what concerns the meaning of his actions and that according to Lacan, the judgment that man makes of his actions can not fail to consider the question of desire, even if it is unconscious.

From the psychoanalytic perspective, the author discusses the work of Francis Bacon by using a aesthetic conception that recognizes it as an ontological reality. Thus, consider that as a work of art, their own constituents, in internal tension, are capable of causing effects or sensations that are its ultimate goal as advocated by Bacon. In his analysis, the author examines and discusses the dialectic “time - space,” revealed by the poet/painter, as being of particular interest to the psychoanalytic clinic once itt clarifies important issues related to Real as impossible, as Lacan understood. Bacon’s painting examined by reference to the “creationist sublimation of the death drive” allows us, according to the author, to glimpse beyond the significant chain. The author concludes that art, like the psychoanalytic clinic, assumes subjective displacements implies in cutting - breaking with the trend of an Eros that unifies and pacifies.

Based on Freud’s analysis about the consequences of the cultural insertion of Man and of the consequences upon him by the civilizing process and Lacan’s on the place occupied by the symbolic function of the father in the aforementioned insertion, the author focuses critically on crucial issues to the subjectivity of the subjects in our time. It is argued that the discourses that shape the contemporary man have as a focal point to privilege the enjoyment and not the desire. This articulates directly with the weakening of the symbolic function of the father (Name of the Father), producing as an effect at the level of the imaginary, the figure of a helpless father. The author concludes that in contemporary times, the subject, if substituted by the object, is reduced to an image by the discourses of advertising, politics, university and science. According to this, we would be still living the dictatorship of medical practices, imperialism of techniques and of numbers. Thus, the body, apart from the subject is approached as an automatic machine that breaks down and needs to be fixed. The fetishistic strategy aims not only the exile of men, but also the closing of their mouths and ears. In this direction, paraphrasing Fernando Pessoa, the author thus summarizes the ideology - subjectivity - of our time: To talk is not necessary. To whish is not necessary. To enjoy is necessary.

The presente articleisan approach about Jaques Lacan’sconceptions on malehomosexuality, which were presented in theSeminar, Book V, The formations o f the unconscious. It considers the theoretic paradigmas about the themeas described in the mentioned work, which brings also some of Freudian theories on the subject. Besides, the article stresses some problematic considerations without forma laccuracy, what means a biased approach of the theme.

The puberty is constituted by an objective reality, by a body in transformation. One treats of a strange body that requires subjectivation and recognition by the adolescent and the adults that surround him. If in the puberty this is the objective reality that is established, in the adolescence there is a subjective reality that pulsates and requires objectification in the strangeness of the pubescent body. In general, the purpose in this reflection is to discuss about the subjectivity of the adolescent and his ways of social link. One intends specifically, to reflect about the adolescent conducts connected to what the social discourse names as conflict with the law.

Through the investigations that Lacan elaborates on the obsessional neurosis, due to the Shakespearean tragedy, Hamlet, some aspects may evidence to us interesting reflections. This work comes from fruitful investigations in the field of Obsessional Neurosis and within researches that aimed to clarify the theoretical and clinical problems that usually arise in the treatment of neurosis. Thus, an interesting way forward to look at this issue concerns on the inheritance of symbolic debt, considering the way wich the obsessive drives his desire and his unconscious fantasy to Other, and the way the obsessive remains unsatisfied his constituent desire. This path should be traversed using a feature that brightly is able to make us witness the psyche: a literary text, more specifically, the Shakespeare’s tragedy Hamlet. These are the terms that give relevance to the results of this study since this step allows us to advance clinically and in the treatment of obsessional neurosis and provides further evidence to research the subject in the field of psychoanalytic literature.

This work is the result of reflections on bibliographical studies about the structure perverse and its consequent relationship with the Law. Many studies have been done about the constitution of the superego in neuroses, however, when it comes to other structure (perversion and psychosis), this third instance delineation, formulated by Freud from the second topic, it is often insufficient in Freud. Thus, the main objective of this work is to explore the path trodden by Freud, considering the important contributions of Lacan and others, with regard to the constitution of the superego in perversions, trying to establish relationships between law, desire and enjoyment in sustaining fantasy in the perverse. In order for that be implemented, it was necessary to make a brief analysis of the design concept of the superego as the heir of the oedipus complex and internalization of the law to subsequently analyze its manifestation in perversion.

Title: The voice and the psychoanalytic clinic.Author: Jean-Michel Vivès. Rio de Janeiro: Editora Back Cover, 2012,Go, naughty book,And tell herThat one day I sang this song of Lawes:Had in usMore song, less themes,Then my sorrows would be over,My defects healed in poemsTo make it eternal in my voice.Erza Pound - Envoi (1919) The change of position of the place of the voice in the clinic inaugurated the psychoanalysis. The promotion of patient listening and the recognition of the value of his speech overlapping the voice of medical knowledge established psychoanalytic practice as such. This innovation could happen because Freud listened and was docile to the hysteric. In resisting hyponse, they forced him to listen to them. He silenced the voice by taking it as a pulsional object and offering him the enigmatic field of silence necessary for the dictation of his patients to modulate a saying. To speak and to listen, circuit that evidences the effects of the said on the saying according to a hiatus in which we situate the subject and the borders of his joy.The voice as a drive object was conceptualized by Jacques Lacan based on Freud's list of instinctual objects, which essentially located the oral (sinus), anal (faeces) and phallic objects (the phallus). In the work of the French psychoanalyst, the voice approach has its origin in the study of the psychotic hallucinations that invade and possess the subject, as can be seen, notably, in the paranoid delirium. Lacan, however, quickly extracts the voice object from this psychopathological particularity to include it in the very dynamics of becoming subject. This démarche introduces the voice as an object of the invocation, alongside the sinus (oral drive), the feces (anal drive) and the gaze (scopic drive).In the drive field, the invoking drive acquires, little by little, particular status because of its close connection with the signifier and the speech. Since then, we know that the emergence of the subject and his inscription in the human group must be understood as being strictly linked to the mobiles of the concert of the voices that surround him. Lacan's developments on object voice, however, are rare and sparse, especially if compared to the various lessons of The Seminary, book 11; the four fundamental concepts of psychoanalysis (1964) consecrated to the look as object of the scopic drive.Today, those affiliated to the transmission line of Freud and Lacan know that, in the experience of the clinic, giving voice to the analysand corresponds to making it work under the conditions of a discourse, so that it may produce something new, as a consequence not of the unprecedented sense of the mutation of the regime of enjoyment that accompanies it. The analyst's listening promotes a deciphering of the material conveyed by the voice, whose presence is the manifestation of the unconscious under analysis. The material revealed by the unconscious is subject to discourse, interpretation, all sorts of misunderstandings, whereas the voice is what disturbs the meaning, stuns the said, breaks the logic and produces a different physical resonance from the one that is He fixed it on the guy. In other words, the interpretation as cut breaks the sense and highlights the voice as object: what remains forgotten behind what is heard.Such a question about the voice behind the sayings constitutes the axis of this book. Jean-Michel Vivès's research focuses on the pulsional dimension of voice and the materiality of sound in its acoustic, gestural and graphic modulation. In the texts gathered here, he seeks to specify the mobiles of the voice in psychoanalysis, approaching them both via the metapsychological and the light of psychopathology.Throughout the reading, the reader understands the radical ambiguity that characterizes the voice. It pacifies because it transmits the law by marking the scansions in speech, but also subverts because it seduces by the absence of meaning and is endowed with the power to ignite passions. Vivès elaborates his hypotheses and conclusions by crossing over two privileged places. On the one hand, taking advantage of its clinical practice, it makes its commitment to a very particular ethic emerge from its text, namely, to accept what is of the order of the unknowable and the impossibility of ready answers; On the other hand, he extends his research to some expressions of the voice in the culture, like the opera, considering it a staging of "voices", since the song "tries to approximate what speech can not apprehend." It should be added that his training as a musician favors him in his arguments about either positivity or the negativity of the role of the voice in the constitution of the subject.From both places where the author speaks, the path of his transferential links is revealed: the return to Freudian texts, the Lacanian orientation, the taste for research and the arts. It is possible to weave a text without removing it from the dimension of the libidinal satisfaction at play in every production, that is to say, the literary space, expression wielded by Maurice Blanchot, can be approached psychoanalytically as a field of enjoyment, one who writes to transmit something capable of involving us. In co-writing another book of the Janus Collection, the Freudian Body of Rio de Janeiro, Institution Member of Convergence, Lacanian Movement for Freudian Psychoanalysis, once again offers readers the opportunity to get in touch with texts that contribute to the transmission of psychoanalytic discourse, in his bet to exercise the "what is said", so that the unheard.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential of participation in groups as a single variable to measure the social capital of young workers. We conducted a transverse analytical study with 363 adolescent workers assisted by a Supreme Philanthropic Support Teen by the application of the Integrated Questionnaire for Measuring Social Capital (SC-IQ). We considered two different types of classification of capital stock that were compared by analyzing nearest neighbor interpolation on the questions selected from the survey. It was concluded that participation in groups cannot be considered a good indicator of social capital in the study sample. The friendship was measured by the number of friends, along with trust and collective action aspects are good measures of capital stock.

We investigated the school children judgments about the possibility of loving a child of the opposite sex and same sex. We interviewed, individually, 40 children (6 and 9 years) equally divided by gender, belonging to a private school, using the clinical method. We verified that 85% of the participants considered the possibility of loving a child of the opposite sex, justifying it, mainly by ‘observation of lived experience’ and ‘positive feature of the beloved’, the latter having increased with age. However, 65% considered it possible to love a child of the same sex, basing their arguments on the ‘friendship’ and ‘positive result for oneself’, both of which increased with age. We emphasize that this issue, although very relevant, is poorly studied in the field of psychology of morality. Thus, more research and discussions on the subject is needed in order to provide new education proposals on moral values.

This study originated from a monograph approved for undergraduate psychology course. Features aimed at understanding the psychological manifestations of Brain Death (BD) patient´s relatives, identifying the possible psychological interventions at different stages experienced: news of the clinical, check BD, diagnosis of brain death, process of organ donation. This is a literature review based scientific papers in the last ten years, using as a theoretical framework for analysis of psychological manifestations, literature about Grief and Family Systems Approach, and legislation on the topic. In the results, was identified that family members have unique experiences that can affect the grieving process, as concern about patient outcomes in hospital, misunderstandings and the possibility of a diagnosis of BD may present an experience of ambiguous loss, and difficulty experiencing grief reactions in the approach to organ donation, due to the restricted time decision. Thus, it is concluded that it is essential to psychological counseling to family members of the patient in Brain Death during the whole process.

Research, teaching practices, and personal reflections made during the last few years give rise to this work that shows the fractures encountered in teacher-student practice in the university. Fractures reveal a significant gap between theoretical qualification of university professors - mostly doctors - and the results that the students obtain in the ENADE examinations. This slot is due in part to the lack of pedagogical preparation of teachers. The text reflects on three themes, which although different, are complementary, namely: a) the malaise in contemporary education, b) the vicissitudes of those involved in teaching and learning (teachers and students) and c) plot in superior level teaching, disorders, learning difficulties and problems. Aware of the responsibility that gives us the teaching profession, the topics covered in the text are marked in reflection, in epistemology and ethics, looking for that teaching practice is scientifically excellent, intellectually reflective, socially committed and morally ethical.

This article is a qualitative research carried out in two schools in the South of Brazil, including a public network school and a private network school, in order to investigate the 1st to 5th teachers’ conception about the difficulties of learning. Ten teachers were participated in the research, five from each network (private and public). For the process of data collection we chose to do a semistructured questionnaire was chosen, including professional identification and ten questions. Data analysis revealed few differences between the concepts and strategies about the students’ learning difficulties. However, it could be seen that in the private schools the teachers have show more responsibility concerning the learning process of their students, showing that they value ethical dimension of their professional activity . Both, the private schools and the public schools showed gaps in their educational system that need to be filled, reaffirming what researches have been revealing, the precarious state of Brazilian education.

Empathy refers to the functional disposition that people have to exchange experiences exposed unconditionally to the other. These experiences could be different in young by gender, age and social class. The present study aims to evaluate the inter-dimensional relationship in factors of Empathy and the difference in mean response of young people from different socio-institutional contexts. 46 subjects, male and female, 12-21 years of social institution for the care of young people at risk, Christian religious institutions and public school in the city of João Pessoa answered multidimensional scale of interpersonal reactivity Davis. It was found Positive Spearman correlations between dimensions of empathy and the young Christian religious institution and public school had higher mean in regards empathy, perspective taking and empathic fantasy.

Cancer is considered a public health problem. In childhood, has a high incidence and mortality. However, the cure increases with early diagnosis and appropriate treatments, performed by a multidisciplinary team. The psychologist is part of this team and the palliative care team, form of care offered to patients who do not have answers to curative treatments. The purpose of this paper is to review the role of the psychologist to help the child with cancer at all stages: from prevention to palliative care. This is a literature search based on: scientific articles bases Scielo Brazil and Virtual Health Library, books that depict the theme: Childhood Cancer, Psycho-Oncology, Palliative Care, and Death; bailout legislation. The research analysis allowed us to consider that there are many articles on childhood cancer, health psychology, palliative care, death and mourning but few on psycho-oncology and pediatric psychologist practicing in palliative care. The practice of psychologists in the context of childhood cancer is focused on support, counseling and rehabilitation, can be done at individual or group through qualified listening, answering questions, mediating between patient, family and staff. The psychologist can work in all phases of childhood cancer, therefore, become necessary more studies and publications in psychology.

This paper analyzes the reproduction of gender stereotypes in a virtual media. The research analyzed 348 online games created especially for the “female sex”. The authors discuss gender as a concept that problematizes the naturalization of women. The paper also highlights the concepts of stereotype, socialization and play to argue that feminine roles are defined through a complex relation between individual and society. Analyzing online games revealed that a leisure device that is presented as neutral, ultimately contributes to produce subjectivities that reproduce classical stereotypes about girls or women. The technology evolves, but rigid sexual divisions are repeated. Support: CNPq.

Knowing the importance of language development for the individual’s global development and, that academics such as Jerome Bruner and Burrhus Frederic Skinner brought relevant contributions to the language study, the article’s objective is to contribute for the comprehension of their works regarding language development, presenting possible convergence and divergence points. Bruner’s and Skinner’s classical works about language development are analyzed, as well as some articles that discuss important points of the subject. Divergence points are found in Bruner’s and Skinner’s theories, such as the difference in the terms used by these authors to refer to what is commonly called language, as well as the fact that systematic observation data are used by Bruner in his classical work about language, characteristic not found in Skinner’s classical book about verbal behavior. However, convergence points are noticed in the works of these authors, like the language pragmatist aspect indicated by both, as well as adult’s and culture’s importance for the child to develop language.
