Análise do processo do luto em a Desumanização de Valter Hugo Mãe, a partir da perspectiva psicanalítica de Sigmund Freud e a Melanie Klein

Abstract

In order to understand the concept of mourning within the psychoanalytic perspective it was necessary to start with the work of the forerunner of the investigation of the psyche, Sigmund Freud and Melaine Klein. The authors theoretically systematized phenomena hitherto misunderstood about mental functioning. In the novel The Dehumanization addressed in this study, discusses the death of a twin sister, and the grieving process of the whole family, and clearly demonstrates how this suffering can affect the person's mental development, a clear example is the mother of the twins . The philosophy of this study was linked to three great authors and thus it was possible to demonstrate in three aspects how the process of mourning affects the psyche.
