The healthcare professional-patient relationship: a contribution of psychoanalytic narrative to the issue of the subject in public health

It is our purpose, in this work, to debate the relationship between workers and patients in the clinic context. Using a hermeneutic and narrative approach, we shall discuss some narrative lines in order to situate the present study. We offer some psychoanalytic and institutional psychotherapy categories, as a tool for rethinking this relationship, in their institutional, clinic, and managing aspects. In the end, following Kristeva, a linking between text, narrative and experience is proposed.
