ABSTRACT

Massive disorders can result in the register of feeding, sleep, or at times of separation. In consultations, the mother is sometimes able to speak about early traumas that belong to the incestual register. The small island of an ideal and fusional relationship that she had the task of forming with her mother soon proved to be hell. Thinking about the incestuality present in the family history of both parents helped, however, to give meaning to the defensive value of this movement of confinement. A difficult but progressive process began, allowing gradually for the recognition, through the careful interventions of the analyst concerning small events in the consultations, of the child's authentic needs. The son's major difficulties at school led to pedagogical meetings at the school, which the analyst and social worker also attended. The narcissistic dimension was in the foreground in this maternal fabulation and it attested to the incestual nature of the relationship.
