Abstract:
Based on the metapsychology of shared psychic spaces (Kaës), on dreaming (Bion, Winnicott), on the subjectivation process (Roussillon) and on the psychoanalytic clinic of groups and institutions (Gaillard; Pinel), this article discusses what suffers in professional teams at care institutions, which work is necessary to symbolize it and the conditions to sustain it as well as the outcomes of such work. It affirms that the subjectivation of the team’s experience by a psychic apparatus of the group also operates on the user. Part of this process, the team’s shared dreaming - sustained in a common and shared onyric space - is proposed as a fundamental way to accomplish the clinical task in institutions.
