Algumas funções do silenciar na clínica psicanalítica

Abstract

This work aims to investigate some functions of silence on the psychoanalytic pratice. In his psychoanalytic space, where the core of the work is talking, dialoguing, the silent experiences can upset the analyst s capacity of observation and apprehension of the psychic reality, since some observable elements become unavailable. The adopted method is my own poetic style and, through the poetic bond established with the reader, I propose to expand the knowledge, reflections and comprehension of silent situations. I make an analogy with the musical technique of counterpoint using trhee principal and simultaneous events, or voices: Beethoven s, John Milton s and my own, interrelated around the theme of silence during all the narrative. My hypothesis is that it is possible that the being/not being can reveal and/or hide itself through silence, pregnant of mental pain. In this trajectory, I did not come across the silence by itself, but with the process of silence and, at the end, I found the silence as mental pain and pleasure
