Sobre o amor e suas falhas: uma leitura da melancolia em psicanálise

Abstract

This work's aim is to analyze one of the psychosis' definitions offered by Lacan (in 1975), attributing to a love's flaw of operation, the origin of psychosis in general. After understanding the meaning of this love's flaw, one will try to identify the operation of love (and its flaws) in the clinical condition of melancholy.
