Abstract(s)
A literatura psicanalítica evidencia a falta de estudos sobre o amor na homossexualidade feminina.
No âmbito de um estudo qualitativo, esta dissertação pretendeu explorar as relações amorosas de
seis mulheres homossexuais, com idades compreendidas entre os 36 e os 53 anos, tendo em
conta o desenvolvimento da sua identidade, os seus objectos internos, as suas relações de objecto
e as suas identificações. O método, assente na realização de entrevistas semi-estruturadas,
permitiu-nos obter narrativas de vida e aceder a estas vivências do ponto de vista do sujeito,
sempre através de uma perspectiva dinâmica. Os resultados obtidos, apesar da diversidade de
percursos entre as participantes, ajudou-nos a estabelecer uma ligação entre as suas experiências
infantis e as suas experiências amorosas no presente. Mais precisamente, pudemos ver o modo
como a internalização do casal parental se interliga com as suas relações amorosas actuais.
Também observámos a forma como a relação com as figuras parentais, especialmente com a mãe,
foi determinante para a escolha do objecto de amor.
ABSTRACT: Current psychoanalytic literature lacks studies on love in female homosexuality. Within the scope of a qualitative study, this dissertation aimed to explore the romantic relationships of six homosexual women, aged between 36 and 53, taking into account the development of their identity, their internal objects, their object relations and their identifications. The method, based on the application of semi-structured interviews, allowed us to obtain life narratives and approach these experiences from the point of view of the subject, always on a dynamic perspective. The results obtained, despite the diversity of pathways between the participants, helped us establish a link between their childhood experiences and their love experiences in the present. More precisely, we were able to see how the internalization of the parental couple is related to their current romantic relationships. We also observed how the relationship with their parental figures, especially with their mother, was decisive to the choice of their love object.
