WENDLING, Michelle Menezes; SANTOS, Fernanda Barbosa dos; SILVA, Talita Barbosa da    MOREIRA, Amanda da Silva. Hospital and psychoanalysis: the psychologist's performance in a pediatric outpatient clinic. []. , 22, spe, pp.186-204. ISSN 1516-0858.

This paper aims to discuss the practice of a resident psychologist, whose work is guided by psychoanalytic theory, who practices in the pediatric outpatient clinic of a university hospital. To that end, we will start with a brief historical review of the emergence of the hospital as a medical institution, and the changes proposed by the Brazilian National Health System (SUS) regarding this type of facility. We will discuss the integration of psychoanalysis into this framework, as well as introduce clinical fragments regarding children's care. We are interested in discussing the contributions and singularity of psychoanalysis as it relates to the "practice made up of many different parts" motto at the SUS facilities. At these facilities, the ethical dimension of psychoanalysis also becomes political, as is evidenced by the sustenance of gaps in knowledge as an opportunity for movement, and for new discourses in institutions.
