Um supereu que não se diluiu: uma investigação sobre as relações do supereu com as toxicomanias

Abstract

This dissertation of mastering has as a target from psychoanalysisassumptions to make some observations about alcoholism and drug addiction. Freud's studies were researched to know about his considerations in the inebriant products. Following, it was made an appreciation about alcoholism and drug addiction according toLacan's psychoanalysis orientation and its influences on these days. In the end, this dissertation was taken to a question about the nature of the relationship between the superego and drug addiction. Ernest Simmel's maxim - "the alcoholic superego is soluble in alcohol" - was taken into consideration together with Jacques Lacan's elaborations aboutthe superego. At Lacan's point of view, the superego may work as an imperative of joint. What must we think of Simmel's thesis after the contributions of Lacan about the superego?
