RESUMO

Previously studies with addicted patients have indicated that, although there is no stable and profound psychic structure, specific to dependency behaviors, some aspects are recurrent, with respect to these patients. Among them, we could emphasize these individuals incapability to think, reflect, postpone, as well as the substitution of these abilities by action; the profound sensation of existential emptiness, with which they cannot be confronted, due to the ego weakness, which does not allow them to tolerate frustrations; a permanent demand for fulfillment; constant search for a magic object, external, capable to relieve existential anguishes; precarious capacity to integrate parental images that could serve as identification models, jeopardizing ulterior identifications and, consequently, the establishment of everlasting relationships; beyond a great difficulty in the process of sexual identification. These difficulties, inevitably, extend themselves to the treatment field, in which a significant rate of evasion is observed. This study intends to investigate the corresponding characteristics of the affective dynamic of five drug addicted patients, as expressed in the Rorschach Test, as well as in the psychological practice. Four drug addicted men and one young woman were treated, with ages varying from 17 to 23, in individual psychoanalytical orientation psychotherapy sessions, at the Psychological Clinic of the Psychology Institute - São Paulo University. The Rorschach Test was classified and evaluated, in accordance with the French nomenclature and studies, articulated to a psychoanalytical material evaluation, with Klein and Winnicott references. All sessions were registered and supervised, in accordance with this same theoretical line. In the evaluated cases, there are indications that denote difficulties in the affective environment, which not always find similar expression as regards to each individual. The dynamic, revealed through the Rorschach Test and through the clinical sessions, indicates problems in the identity construction, which result in permanent feeling of emptiness, of uncertainty and interior inconsistency. The intensive drive work, of aggressive origin, in the great majority of cases, does not manage to be symbolized and finds immediate discharge. The establishments of relationships with parental figures and, as a result, with other people, are jeopardized. The origins of this problematic appear to be linked to the precocious development of these individuals, in which the mother-child relationship had not been made possible, in a satisfactory way. The failures are not absolute, as shown by the intellectual potential of these patients, as well as by the maintenance of their links with the reality. However, maternal links were not sufficiently good, in a way to allow the feeling of continuity of being, a base to the ego strength. Therefore, intervention with this kind of patient may find better perspectives when, in winnicottian terms, the work is able to provide a new environment, favorable and trustworthy, where they could experiment a continuity of being, which enables the self integration and permits the emotional development to go on.
