A neurose obsessiva sob a ótica de Melanie Klein

Abstract

This research focuses on obsessive neurosis in Melanie Klein's. Thus, it was also possible to study a historical broad view of the construction of this author's thought, having in mind that a chronological itinerary was followed, and, as an important consequence, an epistemological dimension of this construction was obtained. This was so because the obsessive neurosis constitutes an outstanding organizing element in Klein's work, mainly in the 1920's and 30's. This time was marked by the observation of the author's first patients, who were, in their majority, children suffering from obsessive neurosis.
