THE SUBJECT AND THE OTHER IN THE TREATMENT OF TOXICOMANIA

Abstract

This article is the result of a bibliographical research, carried out with the objective of investigating the contributions of psychotherapy in the care aimed at people who seek the resignification of their relationship with the drug. As a result of the research, it was evidenced that it is possible, from the clinical complaint and the manifest desire of the subject before the search for the treatment of drug addiction, to contribute with interventions that enable the production of new subjectivations, resignifying the role of the drug object through the speech process and the elaborations promoted in the psychotherapeutic context where another notion of subject is established.  It is concluded that psychological interventions and the established setting favor the expansion of the management of suffering, enabling the subject under going to be treated with the rearrangement of his actions in his forms of existence.
