GOLDFAJN, Denise Salomão and VIEIRA, Bartholomeu de Aguiar. Doing supervision: a shared space to reflect on the clinical practice with hard-to-reach patients. Rev. bras. psicanál [online]. 2018, vol.52, n.3, pp.167-180. ISSN 0486-641X.
In this article, we describe an experience of shared supervision offered by the Laboratory for Research and Psychoanalytic Interventions of the Institute of Psychology, University of São Paulo. The supervision happens in group and it is based on the investigative model of the psychoanalyst's implicit theories. This model seeks to investigate how the clinical encounter is thought by the psychoanalyst and how it is expanded by the group discussion. The therapist presents the session report and the group is invited to associate freely. The free association that is produced in this kind of apparatus (supervision) exercises the ability to dream and the possibility to elaborate over again (perlaboration) unconscious contents and the pair's affect. As elements that circulate in the field of transference, they guide the therapeutic work. Discussing a clinical case of a hard-to-reach patient is our attempt to demonstrate how the apparatus of group supervision permits the gestation of the psychoanalytic function of those who are part of the group.
