SUMMARY:

In this thesis I return to the investigation of the German term Bemächtigungstrieb used by Sigmund

Freud to refer to the idea of Master the drive to take over. The objective of this research is the translational

and historical reevaluation in the field of psychoanalysis, mainly due to the fact that in Brazil, its use is

traditionally done in the form of domination. To support the articulations, I return to Freud's work on the

drive to seize, employing the provocations of Jacques Lacan, Piera Aulagnier, and other theorists to

highlight its importance in the psychic constitution, and in psychopathological manifestations. The

construction was carried out along two central axes that result in the construction of metapsychology up to

the psychopathologies of the drive for empowerment, which brings together the characteristics of this force

in conceptual instruments, which allow defending a new conceptual position. In this reinterpretation, the

drive to seize is illustrated in the manifestations of subjectivity, such as taking, clinging, dominating and appropriating. In the first axis, I present the predominantly historical discussion, addressing translation, the different approaches, and the issues surrounding them. The result of this first axis is the construction of a perspective that, instead of the drive for domination, defends the translation of Bemächtigungstrieb into the version of the drive for empowerment, and defines it as follows: it is the force committed to taking over the psyche in its relationship with the world, that is, the power to do the work of creation in the coming of the psychic subject. From this position, I propose an instrumentation of this force, in terms of its operationality, where I present the three stages of the drive to seize: in the first stage, making it stick; in the second, getting caught, and the third, and last, getting caught. In a refinement of the drive dynamics, I use the notion of immanent passivation in the creation of the third stage of empowerment to clarify the specificity of taking over. In the second axis, I focus on demonstrating the hypothesis using the autism clinic to reveal the drive for empowerment in its pathological manifestation. With the support methodological I use the logic of pathoanalysis given by Schotte, to give visibility to the pathogenesis of empowerment, the effect of the complications of the temporality of the drive. The central point of the takeover drive in autism lies in the following: in autistic functioning it is possible to clearly observe the first stage of takeover, making the catch, as well as the second stage, making the catch, but, above all, it highlights the non-existence of the dimension third of the drive to take over, which, as an original effect, does not build the point that allows the child to move from being caught to being caught by the other. The demonstration of each temporal element is carried out in two cases, the first being that of the 13-year-old boy Naoki Higashida, through the analysis of his work “What makes me jump”, and the other, of the 4-year-old boy Léo exposed in the work “Mediação and Autism: Bricolating a solution for each one”, by Vivès and Orrado (2021). Thus, the conclusion exposes a new foundation for drive, expressed in the psychopathology of seizure, providing elements to examine the pathogenesis in question. In short, it is the presentation of an approach to the mechanisms that become ill as a result of the state of this drive, allowing for the expansion of interventions in the treatment of this manifestation.
