Abstract

PEREIRA, Rafaela Parga Martins  and  KAMIKAVA, Débora Yumi F.. The hysterical discourse and its repercussions in the hospitalization process: a case study. Psicol. hosp. (São Paulo) [online]. 2018, vol.16, n.1, pp. 18-42. ISSN 2175-3547.

Obstructive Artery Disease affects blood flow in the arteries, causing pain. Pain is a subjective experience, affected by the individual's experiences. In the hospital, patients seek solutions to their symptoms and suffering, however, sometimes these are issues that escape medical rationality. This case study aims to identify and describe the social bond established by a patient, and their repercussions during hospitalization. Ten psychological visits and discussions of the case with the team were made. The way in which the patient establishes a social bond, through the hysterical discourse, has generated repercussions on her hospitalization, provoking in the team a constant search for the production of knowledge about her symptom and in the patient dissatisfaction with the solutions offered. The consultations offered a place for the subjective aspect of the patient's symptom, thus initiating the elaboration of a question.

Keywords : Hospitalization; Psychoanalysis; Pain; Hysteria; Psychic symptoms.
