Resiliência e psicanálise: Aspectos teóricos e possibilidades de investigação

Abstract

Resilience is a concept in the field of health that refers to people's resources in the face of adversity. It is an important and useful concept that deserves debate in different theoretical and clinical contexts. This study presents the theoretical bases of this concept and discusses the possibilities of analyzing resilience from a psychoanalytic perspective. Resilience here is approached by analyzing the intrapsychic aspects of subjects, enabling new interpretations of the concept. © 2009 Associação Universitária de Pesquisa em Psicopatologia Fundamental/University Association for Research in Fundamental Psychopathology.
