Open-access The act of naming the baby admitted to a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit: a bet on the subject's advent?

AuthorshipSCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

    Abstract:

    The article deals with the possible consequences of babies passages through a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), taking the concept of proper name as the guiding point. It consists of written reports of professional experience based on Psychoanalysis’s reference, with clippings of work done in NICU with infants and their families. The practice has given rise to the consideration that the bet, coming from the desire of those who surround the baby that there is a subject in him, is the way to give him a life, which appears in the summons that is made from the name that he is assigned.

    Keywords: proper name; signifier; desire; NICU
