This experience report arises from the clinical practice of psychology in an Integrated and Multiprofessional Residency Program, with a focus area on children and adolescents health. From the study of the social construction of childhood, the meaning of infans (one who does not speak), and the context of a hospitalized child, the themes that permeated clinical care, were addressed. As an objective, we will seek to reflect on the importance of psychological care to hospitalized children, focusing on the following themes: silence, transference (patient x analyst relationship), and the experience of hospitalization. The clinical experience in the care of a child, who appears in front of all members of the health team refusing to speak, will be addressed, a child who "does not speak". The theoretical discussions and constructions carried out, during clinical care and supervision, took place under the guidance of psychoanalytic theory. The theme of silence is discussed throughout the text, a factor present in this psychoanalytic treatment and extremely relevant to the reported experience. In the end, we talk about the importance of psychological listening for the child's silence, the establishment of the transference relationship, the creation of a unique space of speech, and the changes that the treatment implied for the child.

Palabras clave : child; hospital; psychoanalysis; silence.
