SILVA, Paulo Sérgio Lima. Fear and the experience of time, space and contact during confinement. Cad. psicanal. [online]. 2020, vol.42, n.42, pp. 81-92. ISSN 1413-6295.

The aim of this article is to propose a reflection on some effects on the psychological life of confined subjects due to the threat of Covid19. In the first part, based on the way of structuring of phobias, a psychopathological matrix is proposed that organizes the sensitivity and behavior of people in this situation, their anxieties and defenses. In the second part, the author discusses the experiences of patients in his psychoanalytic clinic in relation to space, time and contact during confinement, as well as their movements to cope with passivity and fear.

Keywords : Confinement; Trauma; Fear; Space; Time; Contact.
