| Publisher Description: This book intends to tell psychoanalysts, psychologists, students and all those who are interested in psychological illness or spiritual illness as the symptoms translated into rituals of a particular patient attended at public service were heard by this psychoanalyst. The author tells us what and how the patient-specific suffering was heard from the understanding of his libidinal and identification history. It also gives us news of how the psyche of this subject has "chosen" these particular rituals in order to defend themselves against the dangers that affect the mental function. It is noteworthy that Scatolin presents the construction of his reasoning regarding the "The Knives Man" to the reader in a light, sensitive and didactic way. The disposition of psychoanalytic concepts is done in a careful and well-articulated way, allowing the reader to establish the dialogue with the author himself. For this purpose, in the initial moments of the work, there is the presentation on the Freud's theory and some contributions of the psychoanalyst Piera Aulagnier about the metapsychological concepts - what offers to the reader a possibility to cross the theoretical path of the psychoanalysis, that before the previous current labels, it's already understood to enable understanding of the psychic development that is inherent in all human beings. Thus, the rest of the chapters, at their disposition, they also offer the reader the possibility of embarking, guided by the author, on a pleasant journey into one of the most current pathologies of neurotic order: obsessional neurosis. |
