520 _aConsidering repetitive abuse of a child in the mother-daughter relationship, this article analyses the function of the repetition of this process according to Freudian and Lacanian theory in the implementation of treatment as part of the child’s legal protection.A clinical vignette is seen to reveal that insistent repetitions of the infanticide fantasy in feminine genealogy cannot be limited to a narration of childhood trauma but become rather a questioning addressed to the big Other to define oneself as a different, desiring subject to escape from that fantasy.If the professionals fail to attend to the injunction underlying this repetition, the institutions (put to the test in transference and counter transference, to the advantage of the victim function for the subject) the responses given in reality will only be contributive to the latter’s deadly enjoyment (jouissance mortifère) in transgression, obstructing the symbolic function of the law.Through the efficiency of transference and the symbolic function of the law, the authors show that psychoanalysis without the couch can adapt to clinical treatment of the real, sometimes in turn again bringing theory under scrutiny.
