Abstract

NASCIMENTO, Ana Paula  and  MARQUES, Maria Emília. Vazio que é vazio, vazio que é procura. (Des)encontros. Procurar o (no) vazio no e pelo Rorschach. Aná. Psicológica [online]. 2009, vol.27, n.3, pp.365-373. ISSN 0870-8231.

In this study, the authors propose to consider the issues of emptiness. What are the psychic mechanisms of individuals against losses, the consequences of loss, the different forms of subjects being able to lose objects. From the myth of Demeter, and its demand, and taking as its starting point the failure of the cycle ↔ departure → empty anticipation → return ↔, by intolerance to the void that is death of subject and object, we pursue the meanings of this cycle, and what are the qualities of that meeting. To make this possible, we used the Rorschach, seeing the Rorschach response process as a process that causes a feeling of chaos, fragmentation. How will the subject deal with these feelings of emptiness, this need for creating and processing towards meaning? What mechanisms will be used, when facing this new object, considering its chaos? Providing the Rorschach with new dimensions of analysis, specific to this study, we will observe the different paths followed by subjects in the encounter with objects, toward a possible meaning.

Keywords : Emptiness; Endless search; Greed; Melancholia; Mourning; Rorschach; Withdrawl.
