| dc.description.abstract | This Master thesis aimed the study of anguish manifestations and childhood symptoms of childhood from the viewpoint of psychoanalysis, stressing the understanding of the subject´s psychic constitution in relation to the family structure. Based on theoretical Freudian and post-freudian, with the contributions of Freud, Lacan, Zornig, Costa, an attempt was made to understand the manifestations of anguish in children with respect to their parental functions. This way, a qualitative research was developed based in the clinical case of a child, using the clinical material obtained in the psychoanalytic psychotherapy sessions and in the Test of Fables (Cunha & Nunes, 1993). The results have identified that the anguish expressed by the patient was derived from oedipal processes associated with the family structure. It is expected through this work to improve the theoretical framework about the manifestations of anguish and symptoms in childhood, as well as the clinical practice of psychoanalytical psychotherapy. | en |
