Abstract:
This article aims to discuss the notion of truth to psychoanalysis in its interface with the law, for which the truth is sought in the facts through research; psychoanalysis, in turn, seeks to reveal the truth in the said subject. We will take the film The hunt (Jagten) because its plot is woven from the search for evidence of a fact allegedly occurred and based on the speech of a child, initially taken as truth. Thus, we question the practice of Testimony Without Damage, which consists of a survey with children, to establish the truth of the facts.
