Abstract

FRANCA, Cassandra Pereira. When you looked right into my eyes, with a farewell gaze. Rev. bras. psicanál [online]. 2021, vol.55, n.2, pp.165-179. ISSN 0486-641X.

The current pandemic has forced people to face the horror of finitude, imposed social isolation, and required a change in psychotherapy practices. Psychoanalytic treatment faces the challenge of reinstalling the channels of psychic communication within a new, virtual setting. This article describes particular aspects of the online care of a melancholic patient at risk of suicide and has been fictionalized for the sake of discretion. It reflects Freud's ideas in "Mourning and melancholy" and Sandor Ferenczi's approach to the management of transference in order to show the possibility of transforming psychic pain into a structuring experience through the migration of images into the world of language.

Keywords : pandemic; melancholy; suicide; online treatment.
