Miriam, la responsable de un otro.

Abstract

The present case study covers different concepts of psychoanalytic theory that allowed the analysis of Miriam's case. As a result of key concepts related to each other such as symptom, phantasm and jouissance, it can be specified that the case is a hysterical neurosis structure. It is then that in order to reach such a diagnosis, reference is made to the role that Miriam assumes in life, that of being responsible for the welfare of others. This role is very important since, in spite of causing discomfort, the patient remains joyful, hence she puts her needs first in order to support others. That is why it can be said that Miriam as a hysterical subject makes her symptom of "taking charge" a psychic conflict that positions her in dissatisfaction and deprivation. In conclusion, the hysterical symptom, in this case, arises from the presence of an Other that marks and calls Miriam to the responsibility of taking charge.
