Abstract

This study aimed at discussing subject constitution from a game named by Freud as Fort-da. We used psychoanalytical theories to study the case of a visually impaired child, based on speech fragments while the child played symbolic games with their therapist. We observed that such speech fragment represented the possibility of subject’s emergence without necessarily giving the child a structure diagnosis. Therefore, this study is relevant, since it discusses the possibility of a child’s subjective constitution based on the lacanian articulation between Symbolic and Imaginary and on Freud’s Fort-da.
