O lugar do diagnostico na psicanálise de orientação Lacaniana: da generalidade à singularidade. 2016. 99f. Dissertação (Mestrado em Psicologia) - Centro de Ciências Humanas, Letras e Artes, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, Natal, 2016.https://repositorio.ufrn.br/jspui/handle/123456789/21464This research starts from a clinical case in which the psychiatric diagnosis was central in the life of the subject, which caused the question about the effects of diagnosis on him. This theme is relevant to the problem on the incidence of the concept both in the clinic and in psychoanalytic theory. The literature review conducted in BvS-Psi, SciELO, LILACS, and CAPES Journals Portal to the terms diagnosis, psychiatry, psychoanalysis, Freud and Lacan, evidenced, in psychiatric diagnosis, the influence of the epistemic systems that support psychiatry. In psychoanalysis, a sliding in the theoretical and clinical approaches that relate diagnosis. This review outlined the aim of the work: conduct a theoretical research on the place of diagnosis in Lacanian psychoanalysis. In Freud, the Oedipus complex theory and its relationship with castration - responsible for the symbolization of lack of representation of sexual difference in the psyche - holds a diagnostic analysis in distinct mechanisms used by the psyche to handle this lack. In neurosis, the castration is the repression object; in the psychosis is forclusion object; and in the perversion is refusing object. In Lacan are two approaches: the first, in the preliminary interviews, the diagnosis is organized around the structure, thought from the language. Second, the recourse to Borromean knot guides a diagnostic approach that is not modeled in the primacy of the signifier, but the unspeakable joy of the field. In this, nodes are the support to think the psychic constitution and the diagnosis is given by tying records R, S, I, the node of each one. This Lacan final approach forwarded us to a fertile advance with the psychoanalytical clinic to allow think some joints with a clinical case, and leaving major questions for the savoir-faire of psychoanalytic practice, yet to be climbed.Acesso AbertoDiagnósticoPsiquiatriaPsicanáliseFreud e LacanmasterThesisCNPQ::CIENCIAS HUMANAS::PSICOLOGIA
