  • NON-PSYCHOTIC DENIAL OF PREGNANCY: A PSYCHOANALYTICAL COMPREHENSION Thomás Gomes Gonçalves Monica Medeiros Kother Macedo Jaqueline Conz Psicología Non disallow Psychoanalysis unthinkable pregnancy indifference experience This paper explores the phenomenon of non - psychotic denial of pr egnancy, a situation in which the woman is unaware that she is pregnant for up to five months or more, or until labor. This phenomenon is explored through three different psychoanalytical concepts: disallow, unthinkable pregnancy and indifference experienc e. The disallow defense mechanism, in cases of denial of pregnancy, is considered as an explanation why women do not link their bodily changes with a possible pregnancy. It appears that women cannot link the sexual act to pregnancy if they have suffered be cause of a traumatic situation. These situations are explained in the concept of unthinkable experience. In this paper, indifference experience is related to borderline patients, a possible psychopathological structure for women who do not know they are pr egnant. 2014 artículo científico 0034-9690 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=28432716004 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=284 Revista Interamericana de Psicología/Interamerican Journal of Psychology application/pdf Sociedad Interamericana de Psicología Revista Interamericana de Psicología/Interamerican Journal of Psychology (Puerto Rico) Num.1 Vol.48
