Psychoanalysis and Social Care

Abstract

Abstract:
This work is a theoretical paper that proposes the paradigm of psychoanalytic care for the treatment of social contexts. Drawing inspiration from classical psychoanalysis, such as Freud's reflections on social relations, the paper suggests the possibility of applying psychoanalytic technique to the analysis and transformation of social dynamics, accessible through the analysis of collective narratives, their lexicon, and word associations. The analyst can thus view the community as a patient, with whom to establish a relationship, analyzing experiences, transference, understanding their own countertransferential movements, entrusting the initiation of evolutionary processes to the sensitivity of their interpretations.
