SURREAUX, Helena Ardaiz. Virtuality and psychoanalysis: new paths for the human encounter?. J. psicanal. [online]. 2022, vol.55, n.102, pp. 61-74. ISSN 0103-5835.

This article focuses on the virtualization of the world from the event of the new coronavirus pandemic and its repercussions on psychoanalysis, especially in the clinical dimensions and transmission of this discipline. It starts from a reflection on the virtual essence of psychoanalysis, based on the psychic dynamics of an area of illusion/reality, presence/absence, which is at the genesis of the constitutive processes of the Self. It addresses the great impact of the pandemic on human life and the search for transcendence of the deadly from the increase in virtual communication. This supports the continuity of the analytic practice with patients and allows the follow-up of training in psychoanalysis institutes, as well as supervision. The entire extension of the formative tripod of psychoanalysis can be kept alive through virtuality. Congresses and a wide range of median screen exchange spaces become possible. Finally, the author shares her experience as director of Admissions and Training at ILAP and exposes the great renewal, integration and deepening that the growth of virtualization has brought to the dynamics of psychoanalysis transmission in this Institute.

Keywords : psychoanalysis; pandemic; virtuality; psychoanalytic training.
