PSYCHOANALYSIS AND HOSPITAL: DISCURSIVE ISSUES BASED ON THREE EXPERIENCES

Abstract

This article is the result of work carried out by psychoanalysts in different health institutions. Our aim is to give a voice to the subjects who are affected by the most diverse traversals in their bodies - bodies which, as we understand it, are not just an organism. We found that often, by identifying them with a diagnosis or even a behavioral category, the possibility of giving credence to what patients say about themselves or the situation they are going through is emptied, which can produce another source of suffering. Contrary to this perspective, in the discourse of psychoanalysis, the person addresses the subject, allowing them to produce something by taking their place of speech. This is the foundation of our methodology, both in terms of working with patients and in terms of research, both of which have a Moebian relationship - a relationship that Elia (2023) approximated to that of a researcher. With the aim of verifying the place of the psychoanalyst in the institution and the effects of their work, we have gathered hospital and outpatient clinical experiences in three different devices belonging to the SUS network.
