Description
The interest in this work From the turning point of the literary narratives to the
psychoanalytic intervention arose from the psychoanalytic service performed on Bianca, Jean
and Beatriz. Bianca is an illustrative case of psychosis, while the Jean and Beatriz cases are
illustrative of autism. The methodology used was the study of the features of the case. In the
cases cited, the mark is a solid double bond. The double, according to Lacan, originates from
an idealized image, without holes, constituted by the Other and makes reference to the
Freudian Unheimlich. Bianca presents a destructive specular image, while in the Jean and
Beatriz cases the specular image is still under construction. In all three clinical cases,
something surprising has occurred. Even with the presence of the destructive mark of the
double, there were unexpected body metamorphoses. Such modifications in their lives
brought the idea of a "turning point" as it occurs in literary narratives. The aim of the thesis is,
therefore, to analyse how the literature resource, the "turning point", can contribute to
interventions in the psychoanalytic clinic in cases whose mark is the massive collage with the
double. The turning point refers to the presence of an element that maintains a coherence with
the story and, at the same time, brings about changes in the direction and in the very sense of
the narrative. This surprising element seems at first glance an accessory, but it becomes
fundamental. The twist performs a subversion to what is expected in the story, transforming
the relationship between the figure and the background of the narrative and the images
constituted by it. The work of this thesis points to the idea of a psychoanalyst, who uses the
transference to weave patchwork from the clinical case narrative. The patchwork is an
accessory, initially impossible to see or hear. The psychoanalyst, while weaving the
patchwork, creates holes in the narrative, thus generating a subversion to a destructive image.
The environment generates the literary narrative image after the turning point. In the same
way, in the constitution of the subject, it is what is around the subject that determines its
specular image. In this way, if the background changes, the figure will also become different.
By means of interventions that promote an inversion between figure and background in the
constituent narrative of the subject, the destructive image constituted, or even still under
construction, may have the route modified and will provide body metamorphoses.
