Assistência social e psicanálise nos caminhos da cidadania e da subjetividade: relato de experiência

Abstract

This article is an experience report about the possibilities of psychoanalytic listening of subject users of the Unified Health System (UHS) and the Unified Social Assistance System (USAS). For such, we conducted brief historical background concerning the concepts of the subject of law, the citizen, in the discourse of health systems and social services and the desire on the subject of psychoanalysis. This contextualization, where tighten up the concepts of subjectivity and citizenship, a crossing with the story of our practice with families served by the Reference Center for Social Assistance (RCSA). In this place we frequently meet users who seek access rights to citizenship, such as the routing of basic documentation, food or clothing aid, bring an implied demand of other needs. So it was from listening to this exclusive, individual demand, although expressed in collective family groups or home visits that arises the question about the aid that psychoanalysis could provide in the assistance of these subjects.
