Do desamparo à construção de um lugar

Abstract

This dissertation aims to bring the view from a mental health service, a work carried out in a Psychosocial Care Center for Children and Youth in the city of Rio de Janeiro guided by the foundations of psychoanalysis, where we witness the effectiveness of the proposals of the Unified Health System. Health (SUS) along with the principles of the Brazilian Psychiatric Reform. We begin with the theme of helplessness in Freud and Lacan, the Freudian Hilflosigkeit, located at the base of all the subject's experiences and with great influence on his subjective constructions. A study about the relevance of the “family” and social context in the formation of the subject, and how the absence of a care environment can favor the severity of a psychic disorganization. We approach the work developed with patients with severe and vulnerable mental disorders, suffering different forms of violence, who find in mental health services a possibility to listen to their real issues, in addition to treatment and care. The helplessness beyond the primordial, faced by patients and also by professionals working under precarious working conditions and facing an excessive demand. A bet on listening to these subjects, whose speeches and subjective manifestations are taken as the direction of treatment and observed from the construction of a place where it is possible to deal with the (un) bearable that presents itself in everyday life.
