This paper proposes to launch questions under the conditions of possibility of an analytical work in contexts of various deprivations, characterized as contexts of vulnerability, through two theoretical operators - anguish and shame. Given the experiences of previous research with a focus on the psychic constitution and the clinical-institutional work with undernourished children, it was necessary to develop some theoretical notes that help us to operate in this work. The reality of the families assisted by the NGO Institute of Early Childhood - IPREDE, in Fortaleza-CE, is permeated by the coexistence with violence and the difficulties in relation to the conditions of life that they have and what they can offer their children. We attach our analytical discussion to the contributions that can be made by other fields of knowledge, such as sociology and economics, seeking to increasingly respect the complexity of the social phenomena and the rearrangements that the subjects make to fit them. Through the Freudian reading of anguish, new propositions about a metapsychology of shame and the theory of trauma of Ferenczi, we seek to understand what can psychoanalysis in these so-called vulnerable contexts. This is an always complex question, but we realize that clinical is not synonymous only with the office, but also with spaces of expression of the subject of the unconscious, regardless of the physical place and social situation to which the subject is.
