Abstract

PINHEIRO, Nadja Nara  and  VILHENA, Junia de. Between public and private: psychoanalytic clinic at hospital context. Arq. bras. psicol. [online]. 2007, vol.59, n.2, pp.201-216. ISSN 1809-5267.

Approaching the subject of the development of analytical processes in hospital environments, the present study uses as major concepts public and private spheres relating both to the contexts of hospital ambulatories versus private clinics. The word public refers, specifically, to the visibility idea that penetrates the ambulatorial clinic in the hospitals exposing as much the psychoanalyst’s work as the intimacy of the patient to the multiples institutional glances. Opting to abandon the private clinic as an idealized model, a research with professionals of the health field was conducted in order to narrow down the singularity of each practice. Visibility, the transitoriness and the complexity of the transferencial field were the major aspects found on the hospital context. In order to deal with what might be seen as an unknown territory the authors propose a return to Winiccott´s theory as an efficient and creative approach to deal with the specifics and singularity of such practice.
