O uso do desenho/rabisco como objeto transicional no tratamento de pessoas frequentadoras de um Centro de Atenção Psicossocial Modalidade I (CAPS-I)

Abstract

The present work aims to analyze drawings made by a patient receiving psychological care, as well as the clinical diaries recorded by me, the professional who accompanied her in her therapeutic process. The consultations took place between March 2019 and February 2021. During this period, I worked as a Resident Psychologist in the Postgraduate Program in Multidisciplinary Area in Mental Health, at the Psychosocial Care Center (CAPS, acronym in Portuguese), located in the city of Vilhena, Rondônia. The research proposes to analyze the drawings and clinical diaries after the experience and creation of them. The problem question formulated is: in what way does the use of transitional objects and the scribble game, concepts proposed by Winnicott, in care, enable patients to express their ways of being, communicate and establish bonds? On this premise, the objectives of the research were the following: to investigate, based on this material, the expressions of being and suffering of the patients treated; discuss, in the light of Winnicottian thought, scratches, scribbles, drawings as an aesthetic that gives shape to suffering; discuss the use of transitional objects and the scribble game, concepts proposed by Winnicott, as a possibility of expression, establishment of bonds and communication. The research field, in turn, is centered on the transference relationship established when the researcher encounters the drawings and her notes, distancing itself from the transference relationship established in the therapeutic bond during care. When handling and analyzing the researched material, I operated with the tools of psychoanalysis and, by proposing the investigation in the time after the meetings, I opened space for the emergence of new possibilities of interpretation. In this sense, I directed my attention to the possible affects and crossings that could be thought and felt, based on the psychic disposition and the theoretical framework. Thus, the intention was to look at the material in order to listen to what is sometimes not heard. In this way, the possibility of composing, together with the lines, scratches and scribbles, a fabric that builds new dialogues and contributes to the work in these meeting spaces is expected.
