In the Freudian postulate, love and hate are the noted features of the mother-daughter relationship due to the destination of the phallus in women. Lacan proposes that women are not-all subject to the phallic logics and that it is at this point where devastation finds its path to develop. Owing to the fact that girls expect to get from their motherly figures more than they can provide them with - that is, a feminine identification - demand and resentment might set up. Therefore, I propose to discuss how both aspects of the women's inscription - the phallic and the not-all phallic - contribute to devastation, also as I take a case to study aiming to articulate theory and practice.
