A dimensão estética do encontro com a psicose e suas potencialidades clínico-artísticas

Abstract

This study is the result of an investigation into the intersection between art and psychoanalysis as a possible way for the structuring of psychosis into the social bond. To this end, it was necessary to formulate hypotheses regarding the influence of the artistic dimension on symbolic potential, and the possibilities of changing the subject's subjective position. A relevant theoretical review was undertaken, instigated by a clinical experience, and grounded in an extensive bibliographic analysis in order to trace a basic path to the hypotheses raised throughout the research. This work begins by contextualizing the subject of psychoanalysis and the aesthetic ramifications of madness, followed by an examination of the subjective and structural constitution of the subject, moving on to the psychotic phenomenon and its clinical manifestations. Thereafter, psychosis is articulated with art in an effort to explore its clinical reverberations through the possibility of structuring a symbolic inscription, potentialized by the artistic act. Moreover, it was possible to think about transference, clinical interventions, and the potential devices emerging from the intersection between psychoanalysis and art, as well as from the aesthetic dimension of the encounter with psychosis. This theoretical framework subsidizes the clinical commitment to the construction of a symbolic inscription in psychosis, by highlighting art as analogous to psychoanalysis, emphasizing the creative potential inherent in the analytic encounter
