Passage of time, illusions and disillusions in a social group: Psychoanalytic clinical fact
Keywords:
Psychoanalytic clinic fact, Illusions and disillusions, Social group, AuthenticityAbstract
Based on the conception of psychic temporality as the manner in which psychic processes create their own time management, and the concept of the psychoanalytic clinical fact, the author studies the illusions and disillusions in a social group. The theoretical developments of John Steiner, Irma Pick and Ignês Sodré are utilized to investigate the emotional experience of members of social groups in which different generations live together in the same time period: one younger and with illusions about facing fears and uncertainties of the future, and an older one who must deal with the same uncertainties and mourn losses. When facing the painful reality of this difference, they consequently try to abolish it. Loss of authenticity would occur, based on some acceptance of external reality and some acceptance of oneself, originally the result of an alpha function capable of transforming the emotional suffering of the child into the real figure of the mother. In this sense, the encounter with psychoanalysis is not only initially authentic, but a continuous process.
