RESUMO

This study aimed to analyze the subjective issues that involve the relationship between mother and child with the special needs (CE), searching for the painfull and hopeless moments in one side and for the healing and creative behaviors in the other. The cluster woman- subjectivity-motherhood CE, is the main goal of this research. The fundamentals are based on the articulation between the roots of Freudian psychoanalytic background, taking authors as Winnicott and Chodorow, and the social concepts of Scott, Badinter and Gonzaléz Reys. Using qualitative methodology, the author accessed 11 mothers of CE whose children were on treatment in the Clinical of the University of Uberaba, where she worked. The data was collected through recording oral histories in interviews. The results could identify some findings that help to explain the problem: a) the pregnancy as a moment of expectations and dreams in the women?s life; b) the impact of giving birth of a CE as very painful and difficult moment, that some women go through the denial; c) despair of the mother who had no clear knowledge of the disease, no ease information and support to face the routine with the newborn child; d) subjective reconstruction of the motherhood, where the woman has to empty herself first, rebuild the expectation of motherhood and discover paths of successful education for the child. The conclusions focused the importance of the mother?s subjectivity to overcome the problem and recommended support groups for these mothers in the health and educational sets
