Relato de experiência da perda ambígua diante de um filho adolescente desaparecido / Case study of ambiguous loss front of a missing teenager son

A Teoria da Perda Ambígua (P.A) coloca que tal perda é uma das mais inquietantes, estressante e traumatizante diante das demais, não há confirmação, fechamento ou rituais de apoio e, portanto, não há uma resolução verdadeira. Este estudo objetivou verificar características da perda ambígua (de primeiro tipo) vivido por uma mãe de um adolescente desaparecido, caracterizada pela ausência física, mas sem comprovação de morte, e com uma presença psíquica permanente. Também investigou interligações das falas da genitora com resultados do Inventário de Percepção de Suporte Familiar. Foi possível identificar baixo nível quanto ao suporte familiar em todos os fatores (afetivo-consistente, autonomia e adaptação familiar), bem como diversos fatores desta perda ambígua, concentrando-se em questões como a esperança e desesperança, presença e ausência, sendo estes, fatores essenciais para novos focos de intervenções transformadoras.(AU)

A arte da fuga: sobre a personalidade reativa e o tratamento psicanalí­tico de um adolescente em crise / The art of escape: on reactive personality and psychoanalytic treatment of an adolescent in crisis / El arte de la fuga: sobre la personalidad reactiva y el tratamiento psicoanalí­tico de un adolescente en crisis

Este trabalho apresenta uma discussão acerca de um caso clínico que interroga a ação do psicanalista perante o processo de crise de um adolescente em condição de abrigamento. O desdobramento do caso pôde, somente a posteriori, levar-nos ao estudo do funcionamento daquilo que Jacques Lacan, em seu seminário A Angústia (1962-1963), chamou de "personalidade reativa". Trata-se, segundo Lacan, não de uma espécie de sujeito, mas sim de uma zona de relação definida por ele como a do acting-out. William recorria exatamente a essa zona como único recurso diante do "não se pode dizer".

This paper presents a discussion about a clinical case that questions the psychoanalyst's action in the crisis process of an adolescent in shelter condition. Only later the case's development was able to lead us to the study of the functioning of what Jacques Lacan called "reactive personality" in his seminar Anxiety (1962-1963). According to Lacan, it is not a kind of subject, but a zone of relation defined by him as acting-out. That zone was the only resource that William had before the "cannot be said".

Why do some boys run away from home?

OBJECTIVE: Insufficient research has been done to look for the factors compelling children to make street, their home. The study was conducted at a Child Observation Home to which street children from all over Delhi, are brought. METHODS: Each boy admitted during the specified 6 months period was interviewed. Chi2 and Fisher's test were applied. A total of 400 boys were studied, 9.8% of these had not run away from their homes and 89.2% were "Runaways". These two groups were compared and following factors were found associated with the "Runaway" group. RESULT: Majority (55%) had left home between 10-12 year of age. They were more from "Joint" families. A higher percentage had literate fathers. A higher percentage had no parent earning and a higher proportion of "Not Runaways" had only the mother earning. Presence of a step parent, guardian other than the parents and intra-familial physical abuse were found associated with "Runaway" group. CONCLUSION: The most common reason for running away was; beating by parents/relatives, followed by a desire for economic independence (28.5%). Other reasons were maltreatment by step parent/s, being both parents dead argument with parent etc. The factors emerging can be useful for identifying high-risk families with children in pre adolescent age and hence for prevention and rehabilitation.
