Abstract

The text starts from a question about the specificity of the psychoanalytic clinic with children. Through excerpts from a clinical case, it addresses the power of care with children, in its dimension of teaching about psychoanalytic listening. It brings the concepts of unconscious and fundamental fantasy, in addition to covering notions about the direction of treatment and children in psychoanalysis. Then, it addresses the issue of the production and dissemination of diagnoses and therapies that corroborate the subjective silencing of what is a manifestation of the structural infantile in the human. Finally, it investigates the theme of the infraction as a symbolic appeal, of subjective recognition and the right to voice, at the heart of the way of life inscribed in the discourse of capitalism.
