Percursos de supervisão clínico-institucional no Rio Grande do Norte: o desejo, a política, a formação

Abstract

This work traces the path of an clinical-institutional supervisor from his first contact with the role, questioning peers and telling his experience when seeking to develop knowledge about the practice, through a research process that, due to an act flawed, came to be called “otherization”. We will follow the unfolding of this experience through a project in RN that initially selected 24 health professionals to work as SCI spread across the state's 45 CAPS. The scenario will go back both to a present portrait of RAPS, more than ever fragmented right after a pandemic, and to the past, retelling some scenes from the history of its constitution in the state. The method adopted will be psychoanalytic research, using field diaries written by the researcher and some interviews. We aim to analyze these SCI experiences, investigating their function, in the post-pandemic context and increased demand for psychosocial care. With this, we hope to create portraits of RAPS in RN and explain the training effects that the project had for first-time supervisors. The research ended up unfolding in parts parallel to the notion of Lacanian logical time, addressing the anxieties and questions that arose in the researcher's field diaries, at first. The failed act from which “otherization” arises served as a thread to analyze and create a path for another moment to address the questions raised previously in the interviews with fellow supervisors and a more senior RAPS worker. From these seams, contours were embroidered to characterize the role of supervision, process scenes and portraits of the network's services.
