O trabalho do psicanalista na atenção básica

Abstract

This article arises from reflection on the experience of psychological treatment in primary care in National Health System (SUS) within the perspective of Lacanian psychoanalysis. It uses a method based upon the experience dialogue along with literature. We tried to learn how this clinical care happens and what elements are taking part in the process such as listening of unconscious subject, analyst´s desire and the transfer. Some obstacles to this work were also perceived. The results show that psychoanalysis’ concern since Freud was contribute with public health for a higher number of people can benefit of it. Psychoanalysis is also a challenge in the praxis in public health service that is centered on biomedical model. Final remarks: psychoanalysis contributes in the care of the user, in the health work, mainly in the listening of the unspoken.
