Travessias psíquicas no transplante autólogo de medula óssea: a escuta psicanalítica diante do corpo, do vazio e do excesso

Abstract

Introduction: Psychological support for individuals hospitalized for autologous bone marrow transplantation (BMT) allows for a closer look at the main factors that drive the emotional suffering associated with this context. Isolation, the suspension of daily life, the aggressive side effects of chemotherapy, and the forced entry into a completely different temporality are some of the most striking aspects of these experiences. Objective: To investigate how the process of psychic elaboration manifests itself in this context and to Analyze how psychoanalytic listening can facilitate it. Method: A descriptive, qualitative study in the form of an experience report, conducted in tertiary healthcare at a reference hospital in Minas Gerais. Results and conclusion: The systematization of this experience allows us to perceive that, although each subject experiences the Journey in a completely unique way, the common framework of BTM can operate as a liminal experience that catalyzes and intensifies the process of psychic elaboration, allowing us to conceive of its previous stage through the concept of psychic metabolization.
