A foraclusão do nome-do-pai e suas implicações para o outro e o supereu a partir do caso Schreber

Abstract

This master’s dissertation aimed to discuss about the implications of Lacanian notion of Name-of-the-Father significant foreclosure in relation with the way Other and the superego are set in the dynamics of psychotic subject. For this purpose, the case of paranoid Daniel Schreber had been used, as the clinical substrate, with regard to its proper Freudian context, as with regard to the Lacan’s contributions to this case. Thus, the main theme of this dissertation had been established as: "The Name-of-the-Father foreclosure and its implications for the Other and the superego from the Schreber case". It has been designed to identify to what extent there is a relationship between the Name-of-the-Father foreclosure and the character of the Other in relation to the psychotic subject, considering the implications for the superego in this structure. It had touched at points of extreme metapsychological importance, so this dissertantion had esteemed a fictioning character, which does not involve leaving an intrinsic clinical dimension. We concluded that there is a profound relationship between the Name-of-the-Father foreclosure and the superego as what is presented as the language’s rest coming from the Other in the constitution of the subject. We pointed that in the specific case of Schreber and psychosis in general, in other words, the Schreber’s family legacy, as a personal prehistory – symbolic charge unassimilated by the subject -, influences on Daniel P. Schreber’s delirious development.
