ABSTRACT
Visando contribuir para a compreensão da psique feminina e a prevenção da saúde mental e física da mulher, a autora apresenta um estudo sobre uma paciente atendidaem Psicoterapia Psicanalítica, cujo mundo mental estava cindido, sob a égide da crueldade do superego. Idealizava a si mesma, a figura masculina, a relação homem-mulher. Casada, vivia buscando a realização da fantasia edípica. Frustrada, buscou amantes. Nessa situação, o ato da concepção tornou-se uma possibilidade de vingança e punição, ao permitir-se ficar grávida e infligir-se abortos. Sob o tormento da culpa moral, estava incapacitada para elaborar e reparar. Assim, impossibilitada de utilizar o conhecimento básico que possuía sobre concepção e contracepção, corria perigos de toda ordem.
This study intends to contribute to a better comprehension of the female psyche and prevention of womans physical disease, and mental health. For this purpose, the author presents a case of a patient under psychoanalytical psychotherapy, whose mental world was sundered under the aegis of the super-egos cruelty. She idealized herself, the male figure, and the relation man-woman. As a married woman, she kept searching for the fulfillment of her Oedipal fantasy. Once frustrated, she searched for lovers. In this situation, the act of conception became a possibility of revenge and punishment, as she allowed herself to be pregnant and inflict herself abortions. Under the torment of moral guilt, she was unable to work-through and make reparations. This way, she kept taking all sorts of risks, incapable of using her basic knowledge of conception and contraception.
