Estados primitivos da mente. O trabalho onírico no encontro analítico.

The author displays a theoretical-clinical reflection about the primitive states of the mind, by defining this concept in dialogue with other classic concepts in psychoanalysis. Following a conceptual line that goes from Freud to the contributions of Klein, Winnicott, Bion and Green, she seeks to demonstrate the presence of the primitive states of mind in the psychoanalytic process. The author also highlights the use of dreamwork as a tool that allows the access to, and the transformation of, unrepresented states of the mind, and further illustrates clinically her hypothesis through the presentation and discussion of psychic material issued from the analysis of a child.
