Os enlaces entre feminino, amor e clínica psicanalítica

Abstract

The present work aims to discuss about the erotomania concept structurally the way of loving women. Initially erotomania was understood by psychiatry as a phenomenon of psychosis, premise from which we started to look for approach points and rupture with theories of Freud and Lacan. To support them, we presented “Schreber” and “Aimée” cases, which give indications of a mortifying erotomania. After this trajectory, we removed the erotomania from the field of psychosis and were led to specificity of relationship between mother and daughter – using the Oedipus complex and the castration complex – stressing the ambivalence which emerges around the phallus. Not having, becoming to have, to discover yourself failing are essentially feminine issues which direct us to the singular of feminine love. The lack presents itself as a mark of feminine love, since it’s from the lure that involves the phallic function that feminine form of love is structured: a narcissistic form where the need for love is greater than love. After this course we concluded that in neurosis, love also presents in erotomaniac form, nevertheless, the phallic function imposes certain limits. In other words, it’s not only about the daughter to rebel against her mother, for not having the phallus, it is also needed that she wants to be loved by her father, and fantasies that she is indeed. This need to be loved underlies the feminine being.
