The (un)veiling of the object a and the Superego in Melancholia

Authorship SCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

ABSTRACT:

Based on the Freudian assumption in which melancholy is included among the narcissistic neuroses in opposition to the transference neuroses, it is intended to present it in Lacan’s teaching, understanding it as a psychotic clinical structure. Melancholy is approached as a structure effect due to the non-separation of the object a, which is (un)veiled from the foreclosure of the Name-of-the-Father. The role of the superego through the voice object is highlighted.

Keywords:
