FOCHESATTO, Waleska Pessato Farenzena. Reflections on growing old: the clinic with the elderly and the psychoanalytic listening in a search service. Estud. psicanal. [online]. 2018, n.50, pp. 155-160. ISSN 0100-3437.
During the 20th century the expectation of life took a quantum leap ever seen in 5 million years of human kind: of 40 years at the beginning of the century, 80 years spent his final. We are dealing with the emergence of the first generation of senior citizens faced us with enduring psychological States and peculiar pathology of this phase of life. We live in contradiction of not wanting to die, but also does not support any older. Grow absurdly the apparatus of aesthetic medicine in contemporary times, but seems to grow at the same rate the intensity of psychic symptoms. How we as scholars and thinkers of psychoanalysis can contribute in this respect? From my experience at the clinic and as a researcher in the area of human aging, seek, through psychoanalysis, a better understanding of this context of aging.
