Homofobia intrafamiliar sob a ótica da psicanálise: uma visão ferencziana

Abstract

In the current Brazilian scenario, one of the facets of violence that most kills individuals is violence motivated by homophobia. One of the forms of homophobia that has the potential to be traumatic for the victims, and which lacks in-depth studies - especially in the areas of qualitative research and psychoanalysis - is that which comes from the family environment, called intrafamilial homophobia. The present study sought to investigate how intrafamilial homophobia can cause long-term traumatic effects on subjectivity, through the qualitative research approach "Method of Narrative Interviews of Free Association", and based on Sándor Ferenczi's theory of trauma. For this, four homosexual men were interviewed, of which two suffered explicit intrafamilial homophobia and two implicit intrafamilial homophobia.
