Las implicancias del juego para el período de latencia

The question convened in this paper arises from the high incidence of cases that occur, in our clinical practice, of patients who are not within the expected regarding the entry into the latency period, as conceptualized by Freud (1905). These are children between 6 and 12 years old, who maintain outdated modes of satisfaction in terms of the moment of development they are going through. We observe that they present characteristics of the order of autoerotism. In consideration of what has been said, we ask ourselves about the implications that playing may have, in our time, as an enabler of the construction of subjective resources for the entry into the period of infantile sexual latency.
