The aim of this essay is to describe and analyse the legal complications that arise in connection with preliminary investigations involving several juvenile offenders, where all suspected persons have not attained the age of criminal liability. It is also intended to give a broad analysis of the concept preliminary investigation, with particular emphasis on juvenile offenders. It further analyses the legislation and legal complications on the basis of a rule of law perspective. The method previously used is court dogmatic, where in front law text, preparatory work, case law and legal doctrine have been used in order to present the existing sources relating to the subject matter of discussion. The criminal investigative bodies consider juvenile offenders are regulated under the Swedish RB 23 - 28 chapters, FUK and LUL. The fundamental basis used in deciding whether to commence a preliminary investigation, is that of evidence gathered and if it can be reasonably concluded that a crime has been committed under general legislation. A preliminary investigation is initiated and led by either the police authority or the prosecutor. The preliminary investigation is always led by the prosecutor in serious criminal matters. There are certain specific rules that apply when juvenile offenders become the subject of a criminal investigation. The rules applied vary dependant upon and with due regard to the age of the offenders. The age of criminal liability is a crucial and definite factor in this context, where by preliminary investigations can be initiated only against young people that have attained an age of 15 years, but not against those yet to have reached that age. Criminal investigations may however under certain circumstances be initiated against juvenile offenders that have not reached the age of 15 years, as per LUL 31§. The most significant conclusion reached is that the rule of law be applied and met when young people become subjects of a criminal investigation. A majority of the regulations contained within the legislation limit and make the investigative process problematic, particular emphasis being under the interrogation process and the use of means of compulsion. A discussion or inquiry should be entered with regard to the effectiveness of the preliminary investigative process pertaining to juvenile offenders, with a means to improving the procedure whilst maintaining rule of law.

O presente estudo discute o tratamento psicanalítico da obesidade, tendo em vista os impasses no manejo dessa problemática. Para tanto, parte-se da análise da patologização do corpo gordo, sua medicalização e os dispositivos biopolíticos de regulação dos corpos que aí figuram para propor uma diferenciação entre o sintoma médico e seu aspecto subjetivo. Contextualizando a cultura na atualidade, que coloca em evidência o corpo, desenvolve-se a disjunção entre necessidade e demanda proposta por Lacan para pensar uma diferença ética que a abordagem psicanalítica da obesidade oferece em relação ao dispositivo médico, na medida em que não se propõe a normalizar os corpos segundo o peso adequado. Essa proposta coloca em pauta a questão do circuito pulsional que, em sua matriz alteritária, estabelece o objeto pulsional vinculado a uma perda originária que, ao mesmo tempo, constitui o desejo como insatisfeito. Considerando que o dispositivo psicanalítico proposto por Freud se estrutura em torno da falta que advém ao final do complexo de Édipo, e que a angústia de castração ocupa lugar prioritário de motor do tratamento, a obesidade se coloca como um problema à medida que a comida comparece revestindo o objeto perdido e fornecendo a consistência à qual o obeso permanece atado. Para pensar de que maneira a psicanálise pode acolher a demanda feita por pacientes obesos e que recursos teórico-clínicos pode-se lançar mão nesses tratamentos, é estabelecido um paralelo com outras problemáticas, tais como: as toxicomanias e a bulimia. Propomos, por fim, que o tratamento psicanalítico visa oferecer um campo de subjetivação que permita a emergência da angústia não somente referida ao corpo e seus excessos, possibilitando a construção de recursos simbólicos necessários à elaboração do real pulsional. Para tanto, enfatiza-se a importância do estabelecimento da transferência, da presença do analista e da função das entrevistas preliminares que, nesses casos, se constituem como um longo trabalho prévio. / The present study discusses the psychoanalytic treatment of obesity, considering the impasses in the management of this problematic. Starting with the analysis of the pathologizing of the fat body, its medicating and the bio-political issues of body regulation, a differentiation between the medical symptom and its subjective aspect is proposed. Contextualizing the culture in the present days, which places evidence on the body, it develops a separation between necessity and demand, proposed by Lacan, to think about an ethical difference that the psychoanalytical approach of obesity offers in regard to the medical view, as it does not intend to normalize the bodies in conformity to an adequate weight. This proposal brings the issue of the drives circuit to discussion, which due to its matrix of alterity, sets the drives object as something connected to an originary lack that, at the same time, constitutes the desire as dissatisfied. Considering that the psychoanalytical technique that Freud proposed is structured around the lack that is established by the end of the Oedipus complex, and that castration anxiety has a place of priority as the engine of the treatment, obesity figures as a problem since food appears in the place of the lost object and also gives it the consistence to which the obese remains attached. To think about how psychoanalysis can receive the demand of these obese patients and what theoretical and clinical resources can be used in their treatments, it is established a parallel with others problems, like drug addiction and bulimia. Finally, it is proposed that the psychoanalytic treatment intends to offer a field of subjectivation that allows anxiety to emerge, not only related to the body and its excesses, but making the construction of symbolic resources necessary to the elaboration of the drives real possible. For such thing the importance of the establishment of the transferencial relationship, the presence of the analyst and the preliminary interviews - which in these cases constitute a long previous task is emphasized.

A compulsão à repetição é um conceito fundamental na obra de Freud. Em nosso atual estado da arte, ela está relacionada, mais diretamente, com determinados quadros clínicos, como a toxicomania. Assim, o objetivo deste trabalho é identificar e discutir as manifestações clínicas da compulsão à repetição: 1) em sua relação com as resistências, em especial com a reação terapêutica negativa; e 2) sua incidência no quadro psicopatológico da toxicomania. Trata-se de um estudo teórico, realizado com o método psicanalítico histórico-crítico de leitura. Foram utilizadas três categorias de análise textual: 1) identificação do tema central e dos temas periféricos; 2) identificação das possíveis contradições, esquecimentos, lacunas argumentativas, repetições e elementos intertextuais; e 3) identificação e contextualização dos diferentes usos que esse conceito tem em cada texto. Constatou-se que, em Freud, existem momentos centrais de análise desse conceito: a) postulação, em 1914, em Recordar, repetir e elaborar. Nessa situação, ela estava circunscrita ao princípio de prazer; b) situada Além do princípio de prazer (1920) e como fenômeno de base para hipótese das pulsões de morte; e c) como resistência do Id, em Inibição, sintoma e angústia (1926). A compulsão à repetição, em conjunto com a necessidade de punição originada no Superego, forma um bloco resistencial maciço, que pode ser identificado na reação terapêutica negativa. Para tanto, utiliza-se de outros tipos de resistências, tais como a transferência, o ganho secundário da neurose e o recalque. Na toxicomania, a acentuada incidência desse fenômeno repetitivo estaria relacionada com o excesso de impulsos em estado bruto, não ligados, assim como uma tendência a descarregá-los por meio de atuações. O prazer encontrado na droga encobriria, em última instância, o trabalho silencioso das pulsões de morte. Haveria uma estreita e complicada articulação entre prazer e desprazer; ausência/presença e falta. Se, por um lado, é importante não esquecermos a repetição do mesmo e os efeitos destrutivos da droga; por outro, é necessário nos lembrarmos de como a droga pode ser utilizada como uma espécie de medicação, para o enfrentamento do sofrimento psíquico. Nesse sentido, ela poderia indicar uma busca irrefreável por ligação (Bindung) e religação / The compulsion for repetition is a fundamental concept in the work of Freud. In our current state of art, it is related more directly to specific clinical pictures, such as drug addiction. Thus, the objective of this work is to identify and discuss the clinical manifestations of compulsion for repetition: 1) in its relation to the resistances, specially with the negative therapeutic reaction; 2) its incidence in the psychopathologic picture of drug addiction. It\'s a theoretical study, accomplished with the historical-critical psychoanalytic method of reading. Three categories of textual analysis were used: 1) identification of the central theme and of the peripheral themes; 2) identification of possible contradictions, forgetfulness, argumentative gaps, repetitions and intertextual elements; and 3) identification and contextualization of the different uses this concept has in each text. It was verified that, in Freud, there are central moments of analysis of compulsion for repetition: a) postulation, in 1914, in Recollecting, repeating and working -through. In this situation, it was circumscribed to the principle of pleasure; b) situated Beyond the pleasure principle (1920) and as base phenomenon for the death drives hypothesis; and c) as resistance of Id, in Inhibition, symptoms and anxiety (1926). The compulsion for repetition, together with the need of punishment originated in the Superego, forms a solid block of resistance that can be identified in the negative therapeutic reaction. Thereunto, other types of resistance are used, such as transference, the secondary gain of neurosis and the repression. In drug addiction, the accentuated incidence of this repetitive phenomenon would be related to the excess of impulses in a raw form, not connected, as well as a tendency to unload them through actions. The pleasure found in drugs would ultimately cover the silent work of death drives. There would be a close and complicated articulation between pleasure and displeasure; absence and presence. If, on the one hand, it is important not to forget the repetition and the destructive effects of drugs, on the other hand it is necessary to remember how drugs can be utilized as a type of medication for the confrontation of the psychic suffering. In this way, they could indicate an unrestrainable search for connection (Bindung) and reconnection

O presente trabalho se propõe a apresentar uma sistematização teórica de minha experiência clínica enquanto psicanalista, no atendimento com pacientes que, após a remissão de doenças graves tais como diversos tipos de câncer que podem afetar a medula óssea (leucemias e linfomas), apresentavam-se como se ainda estivessem doentes, remetendo-se à doença como se esta fosse um acontecimento atual, identificando-se, em seu discurso, como doentes. Apresentamos dois casos clínicos que estavam com a doença em remissão há mais de dois anos e que foram atendidos em uma instituição hospitalar. O nosso objetivo é possibilitar a compreensão dos processos psíquicos envolvidos nos referidos casos clínicos. Estes atendimentos nortearam a formulação de uma hipótese clinico-teórica. Esta hipótese refere-se à possibilidade de estudar o problema clínico a partir do paradigma conceitual do trauma em Psicanálise, especialmente na acepção desenvolvida por Freud após 1920, com a formulação do segundo dualismo pulsional. Paralelamente, é realizado o percurso teórico que visa discutir a permanência dos pacientes atendidos no lugar de doentes, o que nos conduz à apresentação de um capítulo referente aos paradoxos envolvidos na remissão de uma doença orgânica. A articulação teórico-clínica é baseada em textos de Freud e Ferenczi, além de psicanalistas contemporâneos que têm estes autores como referência. Nesta articulação percorremos os seguintes pontos conceituais: a) a experiência do adoecimento; b) o conceito de trauma e efeito traumático para a Psicanálise; c) as teorias das pulsões; d) o trauma após 1920: as neuroses traumáticas; e) ganho secundário; f) a hipocondria em Freud; g) os paradoxos da cura em Danièle Brun e em Freud; h) sobre o trabalho do luto e da elaboração. A partir da articulação entre a clínica e os conceitos teóricos realizamos a discussão de nossa hipótese clínico-teórica. O percurso teórico-clínico realizado permite verificar que o problema clínico evidenciado pode ser entendido, conforme nossa hipótese clínico-teórica, a partir dos desenvolvimentos de Freud a propósito das neuroses traumáticas, em conjunção com o entendimento de que mesmo algo que era almejado pode não trazer alívio ou realização, mas sofrimento, conforme visto nos paradoxos envolvidos na remissão da doença. O percurso que partiu da clínica nos permite afirmar que o trabalho psicanalítico com pessoas que são acometidas por doenças orgânicas deve contemplar não somente a importância da elaboração psíquica de todo o processo de adoecimento que afeta o corpo, mas também, o que ocorre psiquicamente após a remissão da doença que traz a necessidade de elaboração, pois muitas vezes será no só depois, que estes aspectos poderão ser constatados / The following academic work proposes to present a theoretical systematization of my clinical experience as a psychoanalyst, upon service to patients who, after the remission of severe illnesses such as multiple types of cancer which can affect the bone marrow (leukemia and lymphomas), presented themselves as if they were still sick, referring to the illness as if it was a current event, identifying themselves, within their speeches, as sick people. We present two clinical cases of ones who had had the disease in remission for more than two years and they were cared at a hospital institution. Our goal is to facilitate the comprehension of the psychic processes related in these referred clinical cases. These services have guided the formulation of a clinical-theoretical hypothesis. This hypothesis refers to the possibility of studying the clinical issue from the trauma conceptual paradigm within the Psychoanalysis, especially from the approach developed by Freud after 1920, by formulating the second drives (Trieb) dualism. At the same time, it is done a theoretical trajectory that aims to discuss the attended patients stay at the sick patients place, which conducts us to the presentation of a chapter referring to the paradoxes related to the remission of an organic disease. The theoreticalclinical articulation is based on Freuds and Ferenczis texts, as well as contemporary psychoanalysts who also have these authors as reference. Within this articulation we have scrolled the following conceptual points: a) illness experience; b) the concept of trauma and traumatic effect to Psychoanalysis; c) drivers (Trieb) theories; d) the trauma after 1920: the traumatic neurosis; e) secondary earn; f) hypochondria within Freud; g) the healing paradoxes in Danièle Brun and Freud; h) about the work of grief and the elaboration. From an articulation between the clinic and the theoretical concepts we have discussed our clinicaltheoretical hypothesis. The clinical-theoretical path accomplished allows us to verify that the evident clinical problem can be understood, according to our clinical-theoretical hypothesis, from Freuds developments about traumatic neurosis, in conjunction with the understanding that even something that was desired cannot bring relief or accomplishment, but sorrow, as seen at the paradoxes related on the sickness remission. The path that started with the clinic allows us affirm that the psychoanalytical work towards people that are affected by organic diseases should include not only the importance of the psychic elaboration of the whole illness process that affects the body, but also what occurs mentally after the illness remission that brings the elaboration need, because for several times it will be at deffered action, that these aspects will be able to be determined

La pulsion, concept fondamental de la psychanalyse, doit-elle être conceptualisée en termes dualistes ou monistes ? À partir de deux principes premiers essentiellement irréductibles et antagonistes, Freud cherchait toujours à conceptualiser la pulsion en termes dualistes : pulsion d’autoconservation vs pulsion sexuelle partielle, libido de moi vs libido d’objet, pulsion de vie vs pulsion de mort. Interprétation biologique de la pulsion de mort, compulsion de répétition comme tendance restitutive, et dualisme pulsionnel – je propose que ces choix théoriques de Freud soient en effet liés.Quant à Lacan, mon hypothèse est qu’il était propulsé par un « pousse-à-l’unarisme » ; à partir de la topologie et le modèle de ratage, son intuition fondamentale était que la pulsion doit être conceptualisée en termes monistes. Lacan parvient ainsi à injecter non seulement plaisir, mais jouissance, cette satisfaction paradoxale qui fait souffrir, dans la structure fondamentale – dans le but – de la pulsion. Ceci implique que la pulsion de mort ainsi que le masochisme sont des aspects de chaque pulsion.Pendant un certain temps, le concept de pulsion sera pourtant éclipsé par le concept de répétition, répétition de jouissance en tant que plus-de-jouir. Or la pulsion moniste fait finalement un retour discret lorsque la question du symptôme se met en avant dans le dernier enseignement de Lacan. Je propose qu’un monisme pulsionnel soit une condition de possibilité pour le sinthome, et qu’à partir d’une revalorisation du versant de la pulsion de vie du point de vue de l’Un discret, le sinthome comporte une homéostasie supérieure, c’est-à-dire une satisfaction qui inclut ce qui la dérange. / Should the drive, which is fundamental concept of psychoanalysis, be conceptualized in monistic or dualistic terms? With two essentially irreconcilable and antagonistic principles as his point of departure, Freud always sought to conceptualize the drive in dualistic terms: drives of self-preservation vs. partial sexual drives, ego-libido vs. object-libido, life drive vs. death drive. A biological interpretation of the death drive, the repetition compulsion conceptualized as a restitutive tendency, and a drive dualism – I propose that these theoretical choices of Freud are in fact related.As for Lacan, my hypothesis is that he is driven by a “push-to-unarisme”; with topology and the model of misfiring / failure as his point of departure, his fundamental intuition is that the drive ought to be conceptualized in monistic terms. Lacan is thereby able to inject not only pleasure, but jouissance, this paradoxical satisfaction which entails suffering, in the basic structure – in the aim – of the drive. This implies that the death drive as well as masochism are aspects of each drive.For a time, the concept of the drive will however be overshadowed by the concept of repetition, repetition of jouissance qua plus-de-jouir. Yet the drive qua monism finally makes a discreet return when the question of the symptom comes to the fore in Lacan’s later teaching. I propose that a drive monism is a condition of possibility for the lacanian sinthome, and that on the basis of a reassessment of the different aspects of the life drive from the point of view of the One discrete, the sinthome entails a second-order homeostasis, that is to say a satisfaction that includes what unsettles it.

In this essay, the novel Beloved, by Toni Morrison is observed using a working psychoanalytical approach. Story is observed as an important factor in engaging the reader on a personal level with the experience of trauma. By surveying Morrison’s use of imagery and language, this essay will examine how Morrison employs literary methods that imitate the psychological processes regarding how trauma is communicated to the waking state from the unconscious. The resulting testimony of the novel that arises as the result of these processes is also observed. This essay concludes that Morrison’s use of these literary methods functions to obligate the reader to involve themselves in the process of trauma and its resolution.

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / Esta dissertação tem por objeto a imagem da sexualidade excessiva do brasileiro, como um dos elementos de caracterização da identidade nacional. Toma as obras CasaGrande & Senzala, e Sobrados e Mocambos de Gilberto Freyre como centrais para a difusão dessa crença. A narrativa freyriana combina de forma já observada por diversos críticos, uma alternância entre ênfases mais naturalizantes e outras enraizadas na esfera cultural. No primeiro caso, por exemplo, estabelece nexos entre raça, sexo e clima. No segundo caso, valoriza o papel da escravidão para caracterizar aspectos da miscigenação e da sexualidade, presentes na sociedade brasileira. Salienta-se o modo como o autor construiu seu discurso sobre as relações entre homens e mulheres, negros, índios, mulatos e brancos. Estas são fundadas em categorias opositivas que revelam uma constante na atribuição de predicados que conectam sexo e gênero, raça e etnia, a partir de um viés assimétrico. Tal procedimento analítico sugere um persistente idioma de gênero.

There are differences today amongst psychoanalysts regarding if psychoanalysis should limit itself to being exclusively a hermeneutic discipline or if psychoanalysis should find points of contact with neurobiology. The purpose of this essay is to touch upon the larger issue that creates the different points of view: Can psychoanalysis become enriched by finding points of contact with neurobiology, and should psychoanalysis be regarded as belonging to a broader scientific field than being exclusively a human science? The question at issue is: Can modern neurobiology contribute to a development of the psychoanalytic concepts; compulsion to repeat, transference/countertransference and talking cure? The method used is a literature study. The result shows that: Freud’s theories regarding traumatic compulsion to repeat can be linked with LeDoux’s theory of "emotional memory". Freud’s theory of the death instinct as an explanation to the compulsion to repeat can be replaced by a modern neurobiological theory of "emotional memory". The part of the countertransference that is an emotion transferred from the patient to the analyst can happen with the assistance of mirror neurons through "embodied simulation". This suggests that the phenomenon of the analyst being able to experience the patients emotion in himself does not have to imply that projection or intersubjective pressure have played a part in it. To be able to include this phenomenon in the concepts of transference and countertransference these need to be broadened or revised. It is possible to link and develop Freud’s theory of the talking cure with Deacon’s theory about symbolic communication. The results clinical implications are: Understanding of the traumatic compulsion to repeat as an expression of "emotional memory" demands work with this as an expression of memory processes. Understanding of the transference of emotion in transference/countertransference as possible through reflexive simulation processes, implies that projection or interpersonal pressure should not be preconceived in an emotion transference situation. It also implies that the emotional activation in the analyst should not by necessity be seen as an activation of the analyst’s internal objects together with emotions towards these. Deacon’s theory of symbolic communication implies that the talking cure should be used with awareness of its negative tendencies, visual thinking should not necessarily be considered non-symbolic and focus should be put on multiple ways of communication in the clinical situation.
