Abstract

SANTOS, Gabriel Abbade dos  and  ALVARES, Lucas Bondezan. The place of Psychoanalysis in practice with family members facing mourning in the Intensive Care Unit. Rev. SBPH [online]. 2021, vol.24, n.1, pp. 116-127. ISSN 1516-0858.

The hospital has the medical discourse as the hegemonic scientific knowledge. Psychoanalysis, on the other hand, represents a radical antinomy that seeks to operate a non-normalizing listening. Faced with this reality, this article reflects on psychoanalysis as a possibility of intervention in suffering, which produces singularizing effects in the experience of mourning. Psychoanalytical listening encompasses the processes of subjectivation, making it possible to intervene in the suffering of subjects who have just experienced a rupture caused by facing death. This work understands that psychoanalytical listening is capable of rescuing subjectivity annulled by the hospital scene, creating conditions for singularization. Since psychoanalysis is capable of aligning listening to a singularizing field based on its ethics and practice, we find here a way to look at and welcome the suffering of families, taking the unconscious into consideration.

Keywords : psychoanalytical hearing; mourning; hospital.
