Las denominadas fobia social y fobia escolar en la adolescencia

Abstract

It is of our interest to present the advances of the investigation in course “Phobias: symptom and/or structure? Function of suppletion and nomination” (Director: Dra. Napolitano, Program of Incentives, UNLP). The questions arisingfrom Freudian work concerning the nature, structure and function of the phobia have not been answered in the field of the Psychoanalysis yet. Lacan’s teachings lay the way to consider certain aspects of this problem, recovering the dimension of solution that all symptom involves. The statute of the phobias is occasion of revision of the bibliography and casuistry. In this opportunity the work will focus on the function of the phobia in diverse contexts. We will locate the conceptual problems related with two categories of actual debates, the social phobia and the school phobia, andafter reviewing the antecedents, we will establish the links betweenthese two categories and the crossroads development-structure in the entrance to puberty. We will analyze and interrogate the relations between structure and function of these varieties of the phobia through the study of problematic cases.
