Abstract:
The article discusses the importance of childhood fantasies present in psychoanalytic clinical work with children during a residency period in a general hospital. The chosen path follows Freud’s development of the theme throughout his work, interweaving clinical practice and reflections on psychoanalysis insertion in this context, considering that in the hospital institution, predominantly medical, there is a supremacy of the organic over patient’s subjective questions.
