Resumo

Um olhar sobre a evolução da psicanálise revela que o corpo sempre foi central para o funcionamento e para o desenvolvimento da mente. A histeria e sua característica definidora, a conversão, são sensíveis às correntes culturais e, em lugares como o Irã, a gama limitada de opções sociais e interpessoais para as mulheres torna tal solução autoplástica ainda possível. Este artigo foca o tratamento psicanalítico de uma jovem mulher iraniana que apresenta conversão histérica e mutismo seletivo. A paciente apresenta-se em uma cadeira de rodas e muda, após um coma prolongado que se sucedeu a uma dramática rejeição por parte um parceiro amoroso. A sua apresentação trouxe à mente ideias de depressão essencial e de narcisismo negativo. O tratamento foi adaptado a partir da Escola Psicossomática de Paris, sendo conduzido por uma psicoterapeuta treinada em psicodinâmica no Irã, supervisionada nos Estados Unidos por uma psicanalista de origens iranianas. No decurso das primeiras dez sessões, a paciente voltou a falar e a se movimentar. O processamento mental da transferência foi encorajado e, até a vigésima terceira sessão, a paciente caminhava. Abordamos a paciente como uma feminista não declarada, cujos sintomas imitavam modos culturalmente aceitáveis de expressar a sua angústia. O nosso objetivo foi recuperar a linguagem perdida que pudesse conectar-lhe a mente ao corpo.
