Abstract

This paper deals with the experience of a Psychology extension worker in a transdisciplinary team of a Dental Outpatient Clinic, from May 2024 to November 2024. The team was composed of dentists, psychoanalyst and psychologist, nutritionist, speech therapist, extension workers and interns. The public served consisted of mothers, babies and companions. The objective of this study is to report the extensive practice that occurred with the public that sought care and the team of this Outpatient Clinic. The psychoanalyst and the Psychology extension workers supported the practice in Psychoanalysis, to offer psychoanalytic listening to mothers and companions. From the reading and analysis of the narrative reports of the extensive experience, 3 fields were presented in the discussion: The arrival and the meetings; The affections aroused in the extension worker; Expanded interactions: repercussions of subjectivity on the team. As a result, the characteristics of the team, the activities of the extension worker and the public served were highlighted. This study discussed the relational and affective aspects raised between the public and team members during the consultations. In this light, the psychoanalytic phenomena of transference and countertransference were considered. We concluded that the insertion of Psychology and Psychoanalysis in Outpatient Clinic brought contributions to the transdisciplinary work by managing situations of anguish and suffering experienced by patients, which members of the team manifested difficulty dealing with. Consequently, a humanized and comprehensive care for the public was favored, in view of the acceptance of the subjective aspects aroused in the hospital context.
