SUMMARY:

This research arises from psychoanalytic clinical practices and has the general objective of
analyzing the relationship between neoliberal economic policies and the management of psychic suffering
and malaise. As specific objectives, it proposes to understand the transformation of classical liberalism
into neoliberal policies, to discuss the management of the relationship with the other and its conflicts,
from a neoliberal psychological economy, to examine the capitalist discourse as administration of
jouissance, in its relationship with the ideal of performance in neoliberalism and analyze the production of
suffering about the idealization of freedom promoted by such psychological economy. For this purpose,
the methodology of bibliographic review of sociopolitical theories is used, mainly in David Harvey and in
Dardot and Laval, regarding the neoliberal government, as well as in theoretical references of
Psychoanalysis, such as Freud and Lacan, to think about the malaise in culture and the constitution of the
psychoanalytical subject from the relationship with the Other. In addition, contemporary authors such as
Dunker, Safatle and Byung Chul Han are used to think about the psychoanalytic articulation with 

sociopolitical theories regarding neoliberalism. It also uses a methodology of psychoanalytical writing and
clinical narratives to illustrate the suffering of contemporary subjects. In this sense, the first chapter deals
with the constitution of the subject from the relationship with the Other, as well as the composition of the
subject/culture relationship from the barred subject, castration and malaise. In the second chapter,
sociopolitical theories are presented regarding the transformation of classical liberalism into neoliberal
policies and also its ideals, such as the subject enterprise and a new management of discontent, relating the
ideal of performance and freedom to forms of enjoyment. In the third chapter, discussions are developed
about the capitalist discourse, the relationship with the other in contemporary times and the production of
psychic suffering, which sometimes appear as enjoyment of performance, sometimes as processes of
desymbolization. Finally, in a fourth chapter, some clinical narratives of contemporary subjects in relation
to such suffering are presented, thinking of the psychoanalytic clinic as the privileged place for the
elaboration of conflicts.
