CONTRIBUTIONS OF PSYCHOANALYSIS TO THE PSYCHOSOCIAL CARE CENTER FOR ALCOHOL AND DRUG ADDICTION: PSYCHODYNAMIC ASPECTS OF USERS

Abstract

In the psychosocial care center for alcohol and drugs, as well as in education specifically, there is a feeling reflected in restlessness, frustration, discouragement and even despair on the part of professionals in the psychosocial care center and educators, who tend to blame themselves for such a situation. The purpose of this article is to guide the psychodynamic phenomenon of transversal skills in psychosocial care centers for alcohol and drugs. This work aims to establish a dialogue between psychoanalysis and psychosocial centers by discussing the implementation of elements of psychoanalytic theory as theoretical support that enable the appropriation of transversal skills. To this end, several practical developments of those possible supports that are already known in the area are pointed out. With reference to concepts by Freud and Lacan, such as “desire”, “supposed-knowledge-subject” and, mainly, “transference”. Thus, focusing on intrasubjective issues, it is necessary to read about transferential issues. To support this discussion, we propose an incursion into psychoanalysis. In this way, the reader stands out for his/her ability to understand the knowledge acquired in a given context of professional training for new, sometimes unpredictable, realities. This ability to deal with these new situations that are common today in the world of work can be defined as competence in doing in the area within the scope of the new contemporary era.
