Abusive relationships

Abstract

This article aims to understand the aspects that involve the permanence and passivity of victims of abusive relationships based on psychoanalytic concepts. For this purpose, concepts from Freud and Lacan were used, articulating the subject’s relationship with language and its implications in the subject’s relationship with the Other, which involve aspects such as desire, love, and jouissance. Thus, it was decided to name such relational dynamics an ab-usive relationship, understanding that something of the order of an unconscious satisfaction is actualized in these relationships, and that, in this sense, every relationship involves something ab-usive. It is considered essential that, in the face of such a demand, the analyst has a look at the unconscious scene of the subject who presents himself and that the analysis allows something of the “one” to be sustained so that the subject sustains a condition of less subjection to your way of jouissance.
