- Title
Un duelo ¿terminable o interminable?
- Authors
COUSO, OSVALDO M.
- Abstract
The article suggests that although it is not a "real" loss, the loss of the father in the Oedipus complex can be considered subject to the process of mourning, because it changes the relationship with the father and implies a renewal of desire. With an illustrative literary text, the paper also shows that the function of the real father is decisive in the mourning of the imaginary father. Finally, by the characteristics of that mourning, it also poses the question of whether that process of mourning reaches an end (that can be related to the end of analysis), or whether, on the contrary, it is interminable.
