SALVADOR, Isadora Nicastro  and  CORDEIRO, Silvia Nogueira. Medicalization in the Psychoanalytic Reference: A Systematic Literature Review. Rev. Subj. [online]. 2020, vol.20, n.2, pp. 1-13. ISSN 2359-0769.  http://dx.doi.org/10.5020/23590777.rs.v20i2.e9572.

Psychoanalysis proposes to analyze the medicalizing social context and find answers to this reality. In this bias, by means of the systematic literature review method, we sought to understand, through the present work, the perspective of psychoanalysis in the face of the subject's medicalization. It is observed, from this review, that there is a paradigm difference between the path through which psychoanalysis is guided and that of a society filled with medicalized subjects, the latter being the path of biologization and sedation of the subjects, with a fading of them. Through the qualitative meta-synthesis of the selected articles, it was possible to establish five categories of interpretative analysis, namely: "psychological suffering: the malaise of human beings", "the medicalization of life: the social perspective and biopolitics", "particularities of a medicalized / drug addict", "psychoanalysis combined with medication" and "medical science paradigm versus psychoanalysis paradigm". Through this article, it was possible to understand the approximations and distances concerning the medicalization of contemporary subjects, highlighting the peculiarities of the psychoanalytic view on the subject.

Keywords : psychoanalysis; medicalization; systematic literature review.
