The fiction narrative as a possibility to elaborate anguish in children

Abstract

We investigate the hypothesis that fiction narratives, produced by children (5-6 years old), permit a disguising and a distancing in order to speak of anguish. An analysis, guided by Lacanian psychoanalysis, of linguistic marks present in these narratives proved this hypothesis and showed that the elaboration is especially indicated by the narrator passage through three logical times (to see, to understand and to conclude). It's possible because fiction narrative permits to say the same as well as to leave such compulsive repetition. However, it's necessary a listening with support on transference that marks for the children what emerges in their narratives. (FAPESP).
