Abstract

BECHARA, Laura Carrasqueira et al. Lugar de Vida in times of pandemic: 30 years later and the continuity of inventions. Estilos clin. [online]. 2021, vol.26, n.2, pp.252-264.  Epub Nov 10, 2025. ISSN 1415-7128.  https://doi.org/10.11606/issn.1981-1624.v26i2p252-264.

This article introduces the transformations that took place in the institutional work of Lugar de Vida - Centro de Educação Terapêutica during the period of social distance caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The institution's history is presented, emphasizing the inventive character in psychoanalytic clinic with children with structural barriers in their psychic constitution. Clinical situations ilustrate the questioning and reformulation of therapeutic projects in this scenario and the way the institution continues with its work with children, family and school. For some children, it is considered that remote sessions function as a treatment of the Other. It is a new way of blocking and protecting the invasive or chaotic Other. Screens can be subjectivating devices if on one side there is an interlocutor-subject and, on the other side, a supposed-subject.

Keywords : pandemic; psychoanalysis; remote therapy; heterogeneous groups; autism.
