Andanças com Dom Quixote e Sancho Pança pelos campos da transicionalidade: relatos de um acompanhante terapêutico

Abstract

Wanderings with Dom Quixote and Sancho Pança through the Fields of Transitionality: Reports from a Therapeutic Accompanist In these wanderings, we reflect upon the therapeutic accompaniment (TA) practice, utilizing mainly a winnicottian psychoanalitic reference. Winnicott's formulations contribute a great deal in clinical management. The later would be the interventions in the setting or in the daily life of a subject which aim to symbolize an existencial problem and/or the development of some psychic function. These author's formulations can be the theoretical and conceptual fundament of this clinical procedure, which this work discusses. In order to enrich the discussions we use clinical examples from several therapeutic accompanists (ta's), from some psychoanalists and from the one who writes you. We have the honor to comunicate you that we are accompanied by the memorable wanderer knight Dom Quixote de la Mancha and his loyal shieldbearer Sancho Pança. We will not leave apart, of course, their cavalries: the uncomparable Rocinante and the unforgetable ruço. They are here to help us to explain as clear as possible what goes on in the accompanist-accompanied relationship. Besides the topics mentioned above, we cover some aspects of~ human psychic development taking into account the necessary enviromental functians so that a subjectivity constitutes itself satisfactorily. Among them are: holding, handling, object presentation, countenance, discrimination and interlocution, mirror-role and identification model. We tried to describe them in an evolutive perspective, in other words, from the most simple and fundamental ones to those that become meaningful after the subject has accomplished a long way in terms of his development
