Potencialidades e dificuldades na clínica psicanalítica on-line com crianças

Abstract

With the Covid-19 pandemic, clinical sessions with children shifted from in-person to remote, a practice considered nearly unprecedented, requiring professionals' effort to theoretically reflect on the possibilities of adapting the setting and technique. Therefore, a comprehensive critical review of literature is conducted to examine contributions to this clinical practice. It fosters reflections rooted in psychoanalytic concepts about the online modality, highlighting the process by which it becomes imperative during quarantine and subsequently emerges as a possibility beyond this period. Challenges, hindrances, benefits, and potentials are discussed, aiming to contribute to the theoretical and methodological discourse supporting this practice. Lastly, considerations regarding the mentioned clinical approach are explored without aiming for exhaustiveness or providing factual answers about its effectiveness.
