Mourning in the View of Sigmund Freud and Melanie Klein
type: item
description: This article examines the concept of mourning from the psychoanalytic perspectives of Sigmund Freud and Melanie Klein, aiming to compare similarities and differences between their theories. Freud defines mourning as a natural withdrawal of libido from the lost object, distinguishing it from melancholy. Klein, however, views mourning as a reactivation of the infantile depressive position, involving guilt and reparation. Despite structural differences, both theorists regard mourning as a fundamental and universal process of psychic reconstruction following loss.

A Importância da Interpretação do Sonho como uma Ferramenta Indispensável para a Psicanálise
type: item
description: Resumo O artigo analisa a interpretação dos sonhos como ferramenta essencial na Psicanálise, destacando seu papel no acesso ao inconsciente e na compreensão dos desejos e conflitos reprimidos. A partir de revisão bibliográfica baseada em Freud, Jung, Klein e autores contemporâneos, a autora demonstra como o conteúdo manifesto e o conteúdo latente dos sonhos revelam processos psíquicos profundos. O texto enfatiza a importância da técnica da livre associação e o uso da contratransferência na prática clínica, explorando também contribuições das neurociências sobre o papel do sonho no processamento emocional. Conclui-se que a interpretação onírica continua sendo um instrumento indispensável na clínica psicanalítica e no autoconhecimento, permitindo ao sujeito simbolizar afetos, elaborar traumas e alcançar maior integração psíquica.

A Ansiedade na Visão da Psicanálise
type: item
description: Resumo O artigo analisa a ansiedade sob a ótica da psicanálise, apresentando suas origens inconscientes, manifestações e possibilidades terapêuticas. Fundamentado em Freud, Anna Freud, Lacan, Klein e Winnicott, o texto destaca que a ansiedade funciona como sinal do ego diante de conflitos entre impulsos instintivos e exigências morais ou sociais. A abordagem psicanalítica busca compreender o significado do sintoma e promover a elaboração psíquica por meio da escuta analítica e do trabalho com a transferência. Um estudo de caso clínico ilustra como a compreensão simbólica da ansiedade pode favorecer o amadurecimento emocional e o fortalecimento do ego.

Os impactos psicológicos na autoestima das mulheres usuárias da plataforma social TikTok
type: item
description: Resumo O artigo apresenta um estudo de caso sobre os impactos psicológicos do uso intenso da plataforma TikTok por mulheres brasileiras, com foco nos efeitos sobre a autoestima e o surgimento de sintomas de ansiedade, dependência emocional e depressão. A pesquisa, realizada no ciberespaço, combina observação participante em lives de tiktokers e revisão bibliográfica.

Os resultados apontam sinais de dependência da realidade virtual e reconfigurações subjetivas relacionadas à busca por reconhecimento e afeto no ambiente digital.

Amor Fati: a psychoanalytic reading on the love of fate
type: item
description: Abstract This paper establishes a dialogue between Nietzschean philosophy and Freudian-Lacanian psychoanalysis, exploring the concept of Amor Fati—love of fate—as an ethical and clinical metaphor in addressing human suffering. Drawing on Nietzsche’s The Gay Science and Ecce Homo, Freud’s Mourning and Melancholia, and Lacan’s Ethics of Psychoanalysis, the author argues that active acceptance of fate enables responsibility and sublimation within analysis. Amor Fati becomes a clinical metaphor for embracing lack and transforming pain into symbolic meaning, offering an ethics of authenticity and subjectivity in contemporary life.

The constitution of the subject in childhood: the role of the Other in Freudian and Lacanian psychoanalysis
type: item
description: Abstract This article examines the role of the Other in the constitution of the child’s subjectivity from the Freudian and Lacanian psychoanalytic perspective. Through a qualitative bibliographic research, it analyzes core concepts such as infantile sexuality, the Oedipus complex, and the mirror stage. The study shows that children’s subjectivity results from symbolic and imaginary relations mediated by language and the desire of the Other. The absence of this structuring presence compromises symbolization, as seen in cases of autism or symbolic abandonment. It concludes that caring for childhood requires singular listening and a symbolic place, reaffirming psychoanalysis as a critical and clinical tool for understanding subjectivation in contemporary times.

FREE ASSOCIATION AND ACTIVE LISTENING IN PRIVATE ENGLISH CONVERSATION LESSONS: A DIALOGUE BETWEEN PSYCHOANALYSIS AND FOREIGN LANGUAGE TEACHING
type: item
description: Abstract This essay builds a dialogue between psychoanalysis, humanistic psychology, and foreign language teaching to inform practice in private online English conversation lessons. Concepts such as free association, active listening, transference, countertransference, and rapport are framed as levers to reduce anxiety, foster fluency, and integrate linguistic, cognitive, and emotional development. Drawing on classic authors and the teacher’s experience with adult learners, the paper argues that spontaneous expression, received through empathic listening, creates a safe and productive environment that enhances autonomy and subjective elaboration. It is a theoretical essay without a formal empirical design, yet it offers clear pedagogical implications for one-to-one online settings.

A arte como instrumento terapêutico na psicanálise: segundo a teoria de Carl Gustav Jung
type: item
description: Resumo O artigo investiga o papel da arte como instrumento terapêutico na psicanálise, segundo a teoria de Carl Gustav Jung. A partir de revisão bibliográfica narrativa, o autor analisa como a arte favorece o processo de individuação, a integração das sombras e a expressão simbólica do inconsciente coletivo. São discutidos conceitos centrais da psicologia junguiana — como arquétipos, imaginação ativa, mandalas e self —, articulando-os com práticas arteterapêuticas de Nise da Silveira e outros autores contemporâneos. O estudo demonstra que a arte não é apenas expressão estética, mas uma ferramenta diagnóstica, de cura e autoconhecimento, capaz de promover equilíbrio psíquico e ampliação da consciência.

Group Psychology and the Religious Sect Phenomenon: A Freudian Analysis
type: item
description: ABSTRACT The article analyzes religious sects through Freud’s Group Psychology and the Analysis of the Ego (1921), discussing unconscious mechanisms sustaining group cohesion, leader identification, and loss of individuality. The author links libidinal dynamics and the death drive to blind devotion and psychic regression in sectarian groups. Cases of religious leaders (Jim Jones, Osho, João de Deus, among others) are examined and contrasted with Seth Godin’s concept of “tribes” as a model of ethical and participatory leadership. The paper encourages reflection on ethical leadership, critical thinking, and collective mental health in the face of mass manipulation.

Psychoanalysis in the process of anticipatory grief: an analysis of coping with death and re-signifying life
type: item
description: ABSTRACT The article discusses the process of anticipatory grief, highlighting Psychoanalysis’ contributions to coping with death and re-signifying life. Through a bibliographic review, the author examines the emotional and symbolic dimensions of finitude based on Freud, Kübler-Ross, Bowlby, Worden, Franco, and Quintana. The study emphasizes the role of palliative care, analytic listening, and family participation in the process of farewell and loss elaboration. It concludes that Psychoanalysis, by fostering listening and the symbolization of suffering, contributes to a more humanized and conscious experience of dying, transforming pain into self-knowledge and psychic integration.
