The theory of helplessness provides valuable contribution to the understanding and treatment of some cases that are rather frequent in our clinic, and that challenge us as to frame it and to the use of the classic psychoanalytical technique. Among them, we find the addictions, eating disorders, psychosomatic diseases, and some cases of epilepsy, that besides presenting essentially bodily symptomatology, show, exactly because of this, difficulties in the psychic processing of instinctual demands, which, for not having the psychic ways for their resolution, take the body as their object. Through some vignettes, we try to articulate theory and clinic, for which we also resort to texts by Freud, main reference in this theory, and to authors such as David Liberman, André Green, etc.
