RESUMO:

The object of this research is PSIU-UFBA's approach to the operationalization of the notion of subjective urgency. PSIU is a community service program of the Federal University of Bahia (UFBA). The service offers psychoanalytic listening/care at the exact moment of need, without bureaucratic obstacles – akin to a psychological emergency service. Anyone in the UFBA community can access the service: students, teachers, and administrative technicians. The guiding question of this investigation is as follows: based on appointments conducted by PSIU staff in the program's first year of operation, how can the service be characterized with regard to the idea of subjective urgency? The objective is to present PSIU-UFBA in its first year of implementation (2017-2018), focusing on the notion of subjective urgency. For this purpose, we assess the clinical records, i.e. brief spreadsheet reports written by the attending professionals at the end of each consultation. Methodologically, this is a single case-study – that of PSIU-UFBA. Upon examination of the empirical material, certain findings stand out. The vast majority of attendees are undergraduate students. More than half are very young adults who have recently enrolled in the university. Also, more than half are assisted in some way by UFBA's Office of Affirmative Actions and Student Assistance. In their reports, the professionals use words and expressions such as ‘discouragement’, ‘weeping’, ‘despair’, ‘conflicts’, ‘difficulties’, ‘anxiety attack’, ‘confusion’, ‘suffering’. Most reports do not feature the word ‘anguish’. Those that do, refer to purely subjective complaints, often pertaining to the subject's family relationships, or – in the case of those who have relocated – to uneasiness toward the new city, as well as toward the institution itself. When the word ‘anguish’ appears, it is circumscribed to singular issues that are unrelated to a medical emergency. Finally, it is worth noting that the clinical device under study, being ethically guided by psychoanalysis, does not aim to pathologize singular situations or relations. Rather, it seeks to welcome, recognize, and turn psychic helplessness into a wager in the direction of life.
