Abstract

The present case study allowed to give relevance to key concepts in order to make an analysis that accounts for the clinical experience. For this purpose, a psychoanalytic theoretical framework was used to describe and analyze the Miriam case. This case shows how the contingencies of everyday life can cause a subjective discomfort that sets the subject adrift; such is the case that, at first Miriam comes to consultation claiming not to know what was happening to her, thus revealing a subject in urgency. Through the analytical process that took place with the patient, it was possible to glimpse that the concern for a possible catastrophic future causes Miriam to assume an active role of being in charge of providing the welfare of others, thus reading that her symptom of being in charge leads to displeasure. Throughout her life Miriam has been in charge of protecting, caring for and accompanying the Other, so it is this role assumed since childhood that accounts for her phantasm and jouissance position. The patient's capacity to give all of herself for the sake of others reveals a female superego that increases her capacity for sacrifice in the expectation of being approved and recognized by the Other. On the basis of the above, it was possible to arrive at a structural diagnosis: hysterical neurosis.
