NOGUEIRA, Tiago Sanches. Despair, never: some reflections on clinical-psychoanalytical work during the pandemic. Rev. bras. psicanál [online]. 2020, vol.54, n.3, pp. 118-133. ISSN 0486-641X.

ABSTRACT The article presents some reflections on the clinical work during the first phase of the pandemic in Brazil. It is noted that the arrival of covid-19 triggered something unexpected that placed us in a waiting state. The permanence in this waiting state goes back to despair, this state in which the subject immerses himself in the obscurity of a zone of exclusion figured by the interval between the past and what he is in what he projects. If we take this "despair" as a mark of the singular suffering produced by the impossibility of waiting, we will see that there are some specificities to be considered in the treatments we direct in this period of the epidemic. Some considerations about the effects of the space-time fracture caused by the pandemic event are presented. At the end, some guidelines are established for the management of the traumatic event that may emerge in our clinical work at this delicate moment.
