O que tratar quer dizer: construções da psicanálise diante dos transtornos somatoformes, sintomas somáticos e sofrimentos psíquicos e corporais

Abstract

Paulo (IPq-HCFMUSP). Since 2009 the SOMA treats cases from the hospital and public network, in which subjective issues are highlighted by possible organic causes. The patients manifestations are all in some way aggravated or derived from psychic conflicts. Since the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-V-2013), such patients are classified with Somatic Symptom Disorders and Related Disorders. The thesis confronts questions derived from ten years (2009-2018) of work experience as an analyst at SOMA Ambulatory Care and the theoretical questions that have been investigated-what is it, what is it about, and how to treat it? Four facets structured the conduction of the research and its writing: a) how do the classificatory systems define Somatic Symptom Disorders (SSD) and the Somatoform Disorders; b) what are the possible approximations between the two categories and the psychoanalytic reading; c) how do professionals from other institutions deal with these malaise; d) how do I understand the subjectivity of these patients. The medical literature shows, in general, that the doctor-patient-relationship fundamentally appears as the greatest power while taking care of those who fall ill, and indicates that the relationship between psychiatry and psychoanalysis is productive. And clinical experience corroborates the scientific results. When admitted in the services of the ambulatory, people are invited to talk about their suffering and their stories evidence lives marked by physical, sexual and/or psychological violence in association with affection restrictions. Listening and availability of team professionals tends to make difference in relation to those who are stuck in the hospital routine searching for examinations, attention, terms, and understanding of themselves and their bodies. The notions of trauma, symbolic difficulty, flexibility of the setting, empathy, bonding, determination, countertransference are as valuable for the understanding and care of the patients as well as for the medical field that appears as complex and challenging to those who take care of it. Freud and Ferenczi, among others, are vital to the task. The expectation is that by providing the analyst's listening the patient can create a new narrative about his life and the clinical dimensions of his suffering. Such a narrative, like those with which we are constituted, has a fundamental role in the transformation of symptoms and in the conduct of our own existence. Among the effects of the work conducted in the ambulatory one can also observe the prevention of risks and iatrogenies.

Transtornos somatoformes durante a pandemia de COVID-19

“…Em geral envolve múltiplos sintomas corporais que podem variar ao longo do tempo, entretanto há casos em que apenas um sintoma pode ser identificado, comumente dor ou fadiga (Gureje & Reed, 2016). Embora seja conhecida a relação entre as manifestações somáticas, conflitos e eventos angustiantes, o paciente reluta em reconhecer tal conexão (Catani, 2018).…”
