Free class with psychoanalyst Rinalda Duarte. The study of hysteria is very important, as it is present in clinics and has an impact on the body, desire, and sexuality. Hysteria, in the hands of Freud, founded psychoanalysis, and with Lacan, advanced psychoanalytic theory, which gives it unique relevance. The classic cases of hysteria analyzed by Freud help us understand that the symptoms in the body are not disconnected from the psyche. Lacan made important contributions to hysteria, situating it as a clinical structure, as a subject's position in relation to the desire of the Other, a desire that manifests itself structurally as unsatisfied desire. And in this free class, we will think about hysteria and the challenges of contemporary clinical practice.
