COLAO, Magda Maria; POKORSKI, Maria Melania Wagner Franckowiak; FOCHESATTO, Waleska Pessato Farenzena  and  RABUSKE, Anelise Scheuer. Amplified psychoanalysis: possibilities in the pandemic. Estud. psicanal. [online]. 2020, n.54, pp. 37-46. ISSN 0100-3437.

This essay aims to analyze the Covid-19 pandemic, its impact on the mental health of society, as well as some repercussions it has on psychoanalytic work. Our goal is to understand Psychoanalysis not only in the clinic space but in an expanded way, in which it can contribute to integral health by dealing with the prevention and promotion of mental and public health. As an example of amplified Psychoanalysis, we will explore some study cycles offered in the last few years by the Rio Grande do Sul Psychoanalytical Circle (CPRS) to health and education professionals. Also, the essay describes two clinical cases of adolescents undergoing online sessions, thus recalling, as Freud (1937) said, that the analyst's work is similar to that of the archaeologist. The essay ends with an overview of possibilities for elaborating this pandemic period when pain, anguish, phobia, and helplessness are very present in the analytical listening. Several authors helped us in this reflection, but we highlight Freud, Danto, Dolto, and Minerbo.

Keywords : Amplified psychoanalysis; Mental health; Pandemic; Study cycle.
