O desejo nas psicoses e suas reverberações na clínica psicanalítica

Abstract

Starting from Lacan's thesis that announces the ethics of psychoanalysis as the ethics of desire and speaking well, the present work aims to present a dialogue between two notions – desire and psychosis. Faced with the clinical impasses that arise in a direction of healing that aims only at the limitation of enjoyment, we will walk through the postulates of Freud and Lacan about the themes, in order to locate fundamental points that can contribute to the deepening of studies regarding analytical practice with psychotic subjects. Freud is clear about the existence of desire in the psychotic structure. Lacan, on the other hand, signaled its presence, allowing post-Lacanians to construct their own knowledge about the subject. The wager is that, through this return to Freudian and Lacanian postulates, it may be possible to approach significant points on the subject, enabling a better understanding of the concepts and their relationship. Trusting in the clinic that presents us with desiring psychotic subjects, in the final part of this text, we evoke Julieta de Battista's thesis, which delved into the subject, clarifying it. Thus, the intention is to initiate a conceptual research on "desire in psychoses", admitting the possibility that it is a field of study susceptible to further theoretical developments.
