• Abstract:

  The article presents a data collection, from the reports of the psychological shift of the school clinic; between the semester of 2017/02 to 2019/02; 160 hours; 130 patients; 251 calls; the result shows that the demands were: mood disorders; neurotic, stress-related and somatoform disorders; personality and behavioral disorders; emotional and behavioral disorders that usually start in childhood and adolescence; in addition to a small incidence of other disorders. The discussion runs through the theory of Freud to Lacan, addressing important points: free association; the anguish experienced by the patients; preliminary interviews and diagnoses; and the unconscious and the symptoms. It is divided into three parts: what is the duty; what happened on duty; and supervision. Finally, it shows the possibility of using psychoanalytic tools outside the usual practice model in Freud’s time, bringing a contribution to academic training.
