Consecuencia del alcoholismo en la relación de pareja desde el psicoanálisis.

Abstract

Alcohol consumption over time has been framed within the range of normality, since in all social, cultural and even religious events it is natural to find the consumption of this drug as if it were part of the entertainment. However, from the point of view of public health, it is considered a problem that generates social, economic, family and personal complications. One of the main affected areas concerns couple relationships, from psychoanalysis the formation of a couple is based on love that is conceived from Lacan as the libidinal charge deposited in an object, from the sensation of a subject that something is missing and the object can illusoryly come to complement it. However, when within this love relationship, there is alcohol consumption by one of the two, the situation takes another course; because alcohol allows the subject to be transported to enjoyment immediately, so its consumption is repetitive, and it becomes a primordial part above the other person. When this has happened, the effects on couple relationships are present, one could not speak of a pattern because it is important to take into account the structures, ghosts, elaborations, etc. that are unique and unrepeatable in each person; therefore we speak of subjective effects that must be part of the psychoanalytic analysis to provide care.
