PSYCHOLOGICAL DUTY AT THE UNIVERSITY: Possible approaches between phenomenological-existential psychology and Winnicottian psychoanalysis (Atena Editora)

Abstract

To write this article about the experience lived in the Psychological Duty proposal is necessarily linked to our human restlessness. The existential questions that crossed us at each meeting mobilized us, and so as an intern and guiding teacher (supervision) we launched ourselves in search of possible revelations. The Psychological Care Service under the perspective of Psychological Duty carried out in a teaching clinic of a private university through attention and care is configured as a psychological practice that breaks with the traditional clinic model, and is constituted through very brief consultations. It is worth pointing out that this psychological practice is based on two basic attitudes, which are welcoming and listening, aiming to develop critical and reflective thinking about any phenomena shared in the therapeutic setting. It must be considered that the search for possible unveilings, in particular, regarding one of the cases that will be discussed in this article, had as its theoretical foundation contributions coming from both the theoretical assumptions of existentialist-phenomenology and psychoanalytic theoretical assumptions under the bias of the approach winnicottian.
