Neurose de tédio : um olhar daseinsanalítico diante da culpa e do mundo onírico

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the case "Treatment of a Neurosis of Dullness" by Medard Boss in light of existential phenomenology and Daseinsanalysis. To this end, a theoretical foundation was established on the concept of guilt based on Martin Heidegger's writings in Being and Time, as well as an outline of Medard Boss’s phenomenological approach to dreams. Through these primary authors, it was possible to develop a broader understanding of Dasein, a fundamental concept for grasping Heidegger’s fundamental ontology. By conducting a literature review for a case study, the research sought to apply theory to a real case of neurosis of dullness, in which the entire trajectory of the patient is described and understood—from compulsive and psychotic episodes to recovery and the ability to assume his own existence.
