Era uma vez, há muito tempo atrás... : a repetição do conflito psíquico e a construção mítica do sujeito a partir dos contos de fadas

Abstract

This research arose from clinical work with children, in which fairy tales were brought, often in the narrative of their fantasies. It has as main objective, to investigate the fairy tales as a place of address that captures the subject by making him talk about his fantasy, in the repetition of his psychological conflict, creating his individual myth. Specifically, relating the myths to the fairy tales, and those with the subject´s psychic conflict and investigating it, in the light of Freudian Aufhebung, as a child, through repetition, in the transferencial relation, builds its personal myth. This work focuses on the construction of the individual myths, from the collective myths, especially those present in fairy tales. This process of bringing an individual to collective and vice versa is supported by the movement of the Freudian Aufhebung proposed by Frej (2003) creating spaces and frontiers, often reducing them, so they dissolve and disappear, toning down them, so that they dissolve and disappear, enabling to interpose those myths. The stories are like a place that captures the child when telling his fantasies, emerging the unconscious subject, through the mistakes provided by oral narrative, as those tales are constituted of primitive elements that date back to psychic conflict. Child and adult, in a psychoanalytic perspective, does not differ when it comes to child issue, in a way that the subject who is in the analytical process, brings the child as a founder of his demand system. In the clinic with children, the transferencial relation is crossed by the demand of parents, and becomes quite peculiar as regards the child, although in conceptual terms, this transfer does not differentiate. The transfer that is established between the child and the psychotherapist makes the process of repetition of psychic conflict and the construction of the individual myth. This dissertation is constituted as a theoretical research in psychoanalysis with small illustrations of clinical fragments and belongs to the project Limites, frontiers and addressing between mother and child, from Professor. Dr Nanette Frej of the Universidade Catolica de Pernambuco. In this kind of research, the researcher is overlapped so close that he also includes himself in the transferencial relation with the investigated subject, as it is understood in their uniqueness.
