No meio do caminho havia o sujeito: interlocuções entre psicanálise e Educação Permanente em Saúde

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the named National Policy of Permanent Education in Health (NPPEH) on account of the uncertainty of the individual's place in this policy. The theme choice came from ethical reflections aroused by the desire to study the work routine at a public health service, having the psychoanalyst practice into consideration. The study subject of this research focuses on the Permanent Education in Health (PEH) and moves towards to analyze one of the key aspects in its four-way approach: the teaching. The psychoanalysis research was utilized as a methodological resource through clinical practice inquiries and from moments identified as PEH. In addition, works of authors who argue about the subject,as well as the resource of Freud and Lacan writings were considered, as we can find the dimensions of teaching and education in the psychoanalytic knowledge, alongside with the transmission. We question to what extent the relationship between Education and Health is possible and what is the individual's place at this intersection. Our arguing is mainly concerned with the principle of the integrality as it represents the guiding principle to the Permanent Education in Health. Thus, we propose to resort to a controversial and common question between PEH and the Psychoanalysis: the psychoanalyst education, as a permanent process, implies in the paradoxical affirmation that the education is an impossible task, suchas the government and the own psychoanalysis practice. If the Education consists in something impossible, interminable, how is it possible to talk about integrality? Hence, from the psychoanalytic point of view, it prevails impossibilities between the individual and the integrality, what makes exceptionable the perspective of the education guided by such principle. Nonetheless, this assumption does not invalidate that the own Psychoanalysis, and its concepts about teaching and education, can contribute to the Permanent Education in Health, once the analytical knowledge implies in an ethical wager in the individual desire and in his attribute of a permanent constitution.
