PISETTA, Maria Angélica Augusto de Mello. Anguish and the demand for analysis: reflections about psychoanalysis into the hospital. Bol. psicol [online]. 2008, vol.58, n.129, pp.171-183. ISSN 0006-5943.

In this paper we make some reflections about the appearance of the analytical treatment claims in patients that suffer internment in hospitals. From our hospital experience guided by Lacanians psychoanalysis we elaborate a discussion about the relationship between the concepts of claim and anguish. First there is an appeal of recovery of the psychological equilibrium lost by virtue of some current conflict, when we offer a psychoanalytical care during an internment in the hospital or ambulatory permanence. In a second moment, the person interrogates himself about his responsibilities in the production of his own pain, producing another point of view about his sufferings. We emphasize the anguish as the mediator of this change of perspective. As illustration, we present elements of a clinic case in which a boy moved himself from the first complaints to an analysis claim, emphasizing that hospital is not only the place for mitigating physical pains, but also has a concern towards the subjectivity.

Keywords : Hospital Psychology; Psychoanalysis; Claim; Anguish.
