The author, by means of a clinical situation, tries
to show the
effects of family and social violence on the process
of subjectivity at the time
of puberty, when drives are reorganized.
From the perspective of analytic technique, the author
thinks about the
incidence of the analyst’s positioning that it
is involved as she is working, the
same as the ego, as a “frontier creature”,
that is to say, working in the
indistinct border which separates the internal world
of the patient from the
facts of external reality.
From the metapsychological perspective, the author remarks
the importance
of the reorganization of the mind and the relations
between the
different instances: Ego, Ego Ideal, Ideal Ego and Superego.
It is hypothesized that the power of violence allowed
by the family and
society would enable a fixation to a lethal Ego ideal
and a deficient
organization of the normative aspects of the superego
which would favor an
eventual perverse organization.
The clinical example tends to show both aspects, in
the particular
moment of the analytic process, in which the irruption
of violence, worked
until then in an intrapsychic level, determined a counter-transferential
enactment that became a key to the access of a new comprehension
of his
family and social perspective.
It allowed the work of a transgenerational dimension
of violence and its
effects on the mind of the patient.
