Violência precoce e constituição psíquica: Limites e possibilidades de representação no corpo

Abstract

Based on contemporary clinical impasses, this study consists of a reflection on the limits of representation and acting-out on the body as extreme efforts to inscribe experiences of violence. Body marks come into play and suggest intense feelings that remain outside the associative circuit. These characteristics seem related to clinical practice focused on early experiences, lings and perceptions that occurred prior to the acquisition of language. The author discusses the importance of the other in the constitution of the psyche, and the place of body representations.
