SUMMARY:

This research arises from the researcher's clinical experience with patients in a COVID-19
reference Intensive Care Unit (ICU), during the period from March 2020 to September 2021,
in a large hospital in the city of Salvador - BA. Based on this experience, the following
question was formalized as a research problem: what is the role of the body of the
psychologist, practitioner of psychoanalysis, in the clinical management of the critical patient
by COVID-19? The general aim of the project is to discuss the analytical function of the body
of the psychoanalysis practitioner in the clinical management of the COVID-19 critical
patient. As specific objectives, we propose: I) To characterize the transformations of the
psychologist's work in the hospital in a COVID-19 ICU, in articulation with psychoanalytic
theory; II) To describe the entry of virtual devices as a tool for communication and clinical
intervention with patients hospitalized due to COVID-19 and III) To articulate the notions of
the body, the analyst's position and the analyst's desire in relation to clinical cases. This work
is anchored in Freudian and Lacanian psychoanalytic theory as the guiding axis in the
conceptual, methodological and investigative design of this research, and adopts the
perspective of bodies in order to articulate psychoanalytic readings and the advent of the
pandemic. This is a qualitative, retrospective and documentary study, which uses the trait du
cas as its methodological strategy. This method of research in psychoanalysis favors
preserving the identity of the patients, as its interest lies in the elements that concern the
practice of the psychoanalyst-researcher. Therefore, the choice of cases is linked to their
enigmatic value and to the transmission of the psychoanalytic clinic, as they have called on
the psychoanalytic practitioner to produce an inventiveness in her function: to lend body and
voice. The results allowed us to isolate the body lending as the trait of the cases and, in this
sense, the theoretical-clinical formulations of this study understand the body lending as a
tactical operator found by the practitioner of psychoanalysis to make the analyst's desire
operate in the face of limiting clinical situations. Through the theoretical and clinical
deepening of this research, we hope to contribute to the ethical and political commitment of
psychology and psychoanalysis in the face of the advent of the pandemic and its calls to
reinvent the clinic.
