A "Hiper" atividade como linguagem corporal na criança.

Abstract

The child psychoanalysis clinic confronts the symptoms of a mixed epoch. What is seen currently, is an efficiency and productive demand which requires mind and body acceleration. Paradoxically, “hyperactive” children, as the manifestation of children being in the present moment, are seen as expression of “abnormality”, and nevertheless they are a representative image of the discomfort and the difficulties of dealing with such demands. This work aims to reflect over the “hyper” corporal activities of children as expression infantile malaise, from the contextualization of the psychoanalyst concepts of pulse, mirror stage and the constitution of the subject. The constitution of the Unconscious Body-Image, will be approached based on the concept described by Françoise Dolto, as a way to understand the “hyper” corporal activity of a child, expressed by the excess of motor activity, emphasizing the notion of “sinboligens castrations” to assign the obstacles that the child must face for his own development. In conclusion, the matter of body language was analyzed as an expression of child suffering with bases in an illustrative clinic case, known as “Rose’s case” reviewed by Maria do Rosário Collier do Rêgo Barros, under the Lacanian approach. A new reading for such case is proposed with the elements of Dolto’s clinic, specially by taking the concept of Unconscious Body-Image. In this case, the child diagnosed with the scientific tag of ADHD reacts to the condition of being born without mediation with the language of the maternal other. Here, it’s aimed to treat the massification of the infantile diagnose, which opposes to the construction of a knowledge about what the symptom cause of the subject is, and this how we differ the “hyper” activity from the hyperactivity. The first term as a body language, being able to communicate the infantile malaise through the singularity slant, and the second one alluding the clinical status of ADHD, described by the DSM-V.
