Entre Neikos e Philia: notas sobre o complexo fraterno no caso Aimée

Abstract

Based on the case Aimée, Lacan’s object of analysis in his thesis on the paranoid psychosis and its relationship with personality, highlight the place that is occupied by fraternal complex. Based upon Lacan, we emphasize that in itself, the brother works as a double, that threat and destabilizes the child in his relation to his own image. In order to achieve this purpose, we will resume, in Freud, this other - this rival - which extends at his birth the Oedipus complex to family complex, what is of fundamental importance for a better understanding of that Lacanian conception. Such resumption will enable us to realize their clinical nuances.
