Mujeres presas: una mirada desde el psicoanálisis

Abstract

The theme of this article constitutes a different approach to the discursive material produced by female offenders with whom we work for several years in the Reclusorio Preventivo Femenil Oriente, recovering some fragments of the dialogues we had with them, they will be the subject of a new reading This reading will be directed from a different perspective, based on some of the ideas of those psychoanalysts who have dealt with what as defined in Webster’s Universal College Diccionary (1997) is known as psychopathy, as that “disorder of character It distinguished by the amoral or antisocial behavior”. To achieve the above purpose, it will take as a reference a research whose purpose was to understand the subjective conditions of women living in prison, as well as the sense that for them was the closure as an instrument of punishment and treatment to combat crime.
