CARE PROCESSES IN THE "BRINCANDO EM FAMILIA" PROGRAM: A CIRANDA BETWEEN CHILDREN, FAMILY AND TEAM
Care. Child mental health. The teaching, research and extension trinity. Family ties. Psychoanalysis. Psychosocial care.
The present study is situated within the discussion on child mental health practices within the scope of the Sistema Único de Saúde (Unified Health System) and university projects, considering the contributions of psychoanalysis and the training of psychologists for this work. A non-systematic review of the Brazilian literature on the subject was carried out and the findings indicate how recent the public policies in the area are, often with unpreparedness of professionals to act in the logic of psychosocial care, remnants of the biomedical model, care gaps in the network and little visibility regarding the care of the caregiver, so that it is necessary to consolidate powerful modes of intervention. With this in mind, we chose to investigate the field of Brincando em Família (BF), a teaching, research and extension program linked to the Federal University of Bahia. The BF program proposes to recover and promote children's mental health, mainly by working with groups that bring together children, their guardians and a team of acolhedoras (psychologists and psychology students). Furthermore, we resorted to the formulations of the author Luís Claudio Figueiredo and, in dialogue with psychoanalysis, we considered care as a process that generates meaning, which takes place in intersubjectivity through the presence in reserve and the presence implied in the dimensions: Sustaining and containing; To recognize; Interpellate and complain. To characterize this phenomenon, the case study in question focuses on the BF program through 03 entries in the field: participant observation of team supervisions, semi-structured interviews with 08 acolhedoras and reading of written reports from the consultations. Therefore, all access to the program occurred through the team, which also provoked a look at the concurrence between the production of care activities and the production of the hostess' subjectivity, a process called co-production by Gastão Wagner Campos. As a result of the thematic analysis of the data, three chapters of results and discussion were created. The first addresses training in Psychology, noting it as a path in constant construction that needs to make sense to those who experience it. The second brings to light the experience of the hostesses, presenting, among other points, the clinical-institutional supervision as a fruitful space for learning and caring. And the third, in turn, identifies some care practices that the program has developed with families in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic, in which the presence of playing as a therapeutic resource from D. Winnicott onwards stands out. the communication of affections following F. Dolto's proposal, the continence in the support of families according to W. Bion, the strengthening of bonds from the perspective of P. Benghozi, among others. Finally, we realize the importance of the bridges between theory and practice promoted by university programs that bring together the tripod of teaching, research and extension and we hope that the study in question will contribute to the development of such programs. For future research, it would be interesting for them to further investigate the possibilities of psychosocial monitoring for children in group formats that include families, in different institutions such as SUS services and universities, in order to continue the discussion on possible and timely intervention modes.
