Summary

This work has a double objective. First, explain psychoanalytic concepts to prevent psychoanalysis from being placed, in an era conquered by neuroscience, as a hermetic, lonely discourse and, in this way, open up to the consideration of a public that is not only psychoanalysts. Secondly, to articulate practical tools for psychology professionals who are dedicated to working with the suffering of children from the presentation of a clinical case study of a three-year-old child, focusing on the analytical effects observed throughout the therapeutic process. The objective is to examine how psychoanalytic intervention demonstrates the therapeutic effectiveness after the production and support of an analytical symptom. The question is how the production of an analytical symptom and its sustenance in the love of transfer is demonstrated as an effective operation towards the moderation of jouissance that invades a three-yearold child? Using a qualitative case study methodology, the document analyzes the key moments of the treatment, including changes in the child’s play, speech and relational positioning. Special attention is paid to the articulation between analytical interpretation, transfer dynamics and the appearance of subjective effects. The findings suggest that psychoanalytic work can produce significant changes in development by reconfiguring the child’s relationship with desire. This study contributes to the field of psychotherapy research by demonstrating the clinical relevance of psychoanalytic practice in early childhood and by offering a detailed account of the observable therapeutic effects within a structured clinical framework.
