"Nós daremos fim em quem geramos": uma leitura psicanalítica do comportamento de Medeia.

Abstract

In the first part of this work, entitled “Observations on psychopathy and perversion” is held a historical reconstruction of Psychopathy term, so that we can better understand how this term was nicknamed and how it becomes so popular in the mid-twentieth century, as well we started as an attempt to question what psychoanalysis names as Perversion, yet in this section we seek relations between the Antissocial Personality Disorder and Perversion, making a parallel between these diagnostic categories aiming at the observation of the converging points of these. In the second part, “Medea – a case of multiple murders”, we built a case analysis of the mythological character in order to discuss the possible classifications in which it fits. And finally, the third part of the work we have a debate about what we named "Questions about the female" that seeks to understand a little of that around the sexuality that shows us the way to a potentially perverse or psychopathic personality structure in women.
