PERES, Rodrigo Sanches    BOCCHI, Josiane Cristina. Psychoanalysis, extended clinic, and physical pain: some articulations. []. , 11, 3, 1, pp.117-131. ISSN 2236-6407.  https://doi.org/10.5433/2236-6407.2020v11n3suplp117.

Psychoanalysis is able to enrich the expanded clinic and, thus, make it possible to overcome limitations inherent to the biomedical model that are revealed through health practices aimed at patients who suffer from physical pain. The present study has a double objective. First, we will seek to outline a brief overview of attempts to understand physical pain throughout history, in order to contextualize and problematize the emergence and consolidation of the biomedical model. Second, we will discuss some psychoanalytical contributions for the theoretical understanding of physical pain that, in our view, can produce relevant contributions to the expanded clinic. We conclude, based on Freudian and Post-Freudian formulations, that physical pain, from different perspectives, occupies a "place" between borders, in contrast to what the biomedical model proposes. Thus, we illuminate subjective aspects of painful conditions that deserve to be taken into account by health professionals.
