Title: A atuação do psicanalista com grupos e instituições: teoria e relatos de intervenção a partir de Freud e Lacan
Abstract: The present work presents a theoretical-clinical reflection on the performance of the psychoanalyst in groups and institutions.Although the theme of the groups already carries a tradition within psychoanalysis, we continued the question by verifying how the group coordination exercise has been established by psychoanalysts who follow the reference of Freud and Lacan in the present time and also to know what it does of the group an analytical device.The thesis developed in this study is that the group field is potent so that the subject can create new possibilities of tie, transforming their subjective positions.The methodological option gathered a field research through interviews with psychoanalysts that work with groups and a conceptual rescue of group practices within psychoanalysis, along with some Lacanian contributions considered relevant to clarify the clinic with groups.It was also sought to analyze the role of the psychoanalytic coordinator in collective spaces of different orders, bringing subsidies to the challenging clinical effort to conciliate the collective without leaving aside the singular dimension of the subject.The thesis is based on the belief that group work can be analytical and especially pertinent to current clinical practice.
