Every day, we are told about the problematic effects that unbridled drug consumption causes not only in drug addicts, but also in the Brazilian society. However, it is known that the existence of narcotics with de history of mankind. Thus, the motivating concern for this investigation is the research of which aspects are involved in this modern epidemic drug reality. In this study, it seemed important to present the several kinds of drug addictions and to clarify that this particular investigation is only about the intrapsychic and social implications of drug abuse phenomena, and to seeks some contributions to enable the problem on the field of intervention. There for, the central goal of this thesis is to discuss the addict’s ego taking the concept of I – as discoursed in Freud’s work – and the issues concerning society these days. For this, two sections on the subject were prepared: a theoretical and an empirical one. In the theoretical section, questions about the current human subjectivity are researched, using the identificatory path – that forms de Ego – and elaborating it from theoretical contributions to understand the specificities of the contemporary world and its repercussions in the process of psychic constitution, especially in cases of addiction. The empirical section, on its turn, is built as a qualitative research, and in it, the author tries to understand in depth the implications of the addict’s relational histories in the source of their pathologies, emphasizing aspects related to their psychological dynamics. Based on participants’s stories, it is possible to investigate their passages through the identificatory path, their modes of object relationships and some contributions that may indicate a possible pathway for addiction’s treatment.After signing an informed consent, the participants got into a series of three interviews, recorded on audio, and completed a social and demographic data sheet. It was also carried an interview with a family member or caregiver of each participant, who also signed the informed consent. The data analysis was made by the method of interpretative analysis, proposed by Frederick Erickson. Four assertions were created, which indicated that, in addiction cases, there is a traumatic experience that happened early in life and was not mentally metabolized, also peculiarities in the identificatory path, creation of a specific instinctual circuit and that, in the field of intervention, the path to heal is followed by a subjective passage from alienation to autonomy. This study demonstrates the need of operating with the ideology that the opposite of dependency is the concept of freedom. Thus, Psychoanalysis can gain ground in this clinical field, in so far as, in its assumptions, considers the importance of an autonomous position in relation to the subject of choice and may offer a (re) construction of life history and instinctual circuits that can chain to the network established by the transferential field. Therefore, the healing process entails a novelty in relational terms: a relationship that supports the assumption of otherness.
