Abstract

The article discusses aggressiveness in children in the school context, using as a theoretical psychoanalytic perspective, with emphasis on Freudian theory. The reflections that follow refer to the difficulties of teachers to intervene in aggressive conditions present in educational spaces. Psychoanalytic theory and its assumptions about aggressiveness and violence in their instinctual origins, psychic as well as superego, that is, historical and cultural, have much to contribute to the understanding of aggressive behavior in children. To this end, broke the concepts of life drive and death drive, formulated by Freud (1920) by forming themselves as central to the aggressive approach. For Freud we are all moved by the life drive (Eros) and death instinct (thanatos) that are located between the body and psyche. Develops the relationship between the concepts of aggressiveness and affection as well, according to the psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan. Points to the differences between the concepts of aggressiveness and violence. Proposes a theoretical debate on the institutional environment of aggressive school-on situations that occur frequently in this context. Discusses the role of parents and teachers against the aggressive situations. Presents possibilities of intervention from the psychoanalytic theory and its contributions to educational work.
