Description
This study aimed to ask whether drug addiction is related to sensation primacy, a strong search that takes the subject out of the representation, thought and word, keeping the user up, energized and potencialized. We have investigated the drug addict's psychological dynamic based on Freudian Psychoanalysis and some of his commentators as Hanns and Garcia-Roza. It is a psychoanalytic research and, therefore starts from the clinics interrogations. After that, we carried out the fieldwork to submit the hypothesis elaborated on the research project. For realizing the data collect, we visited two institutions specialized on drug addiction treatment, where we interviewed 23 residents who accept to participate and contribute to the work. They were willed to speak and they could describe their censorial feelings when they had used drugs. We evidenced that on drug addiction there is a symbolization silence and the drug answers to the urge of excitability pure stimulation. We worked on a field of the "instinct" (Trieb), on the border of the psychic and the somatic. The unpredictability movements of the instinct make us to face several clinics repertories, which the classical theory referential seems not to support them. Therefore we dedicated a space to think about the techniques that the psychoanalysts have had to manage with this clinic. Facing the necessity to search new strategies which do not privilege the symptoms appointment, based on a previous subject format, our purpose is a clinic management not restricted to the word field, but the psychoanalyst should detect sensations and experiences. The study about the drug abuse clinic starts from the classic format of the psychoanalysis and receives important contributions of Olievenstein
