Clínica pública e universidade: Considerações sobre a posição do analista

Abstract

This article aims to discuss the work developed in a Psychology Clinic of a Public University. At first, the initial interviews are presented as a form of reception. The dual function of a clinic linked to a public institution is broached: the therapists' initial formation and attendance to the population's psychic suffering. The intention is to articulate theoretically how the analyst's speech can be introduced along the treatment. It is reintroduced the notion that the patient would try to promote the emergence of analytic discourse by changing the discursive position. We also discuss the hypothesis that situates the analyst as a semblance of nothing, bearing a stance of abnegation. The conclusion is that this stance doesn't contradicts the possibility of the analyst as a semblance of a, since the object a doesn't correspond to anything that can be assimilated as significant.
