Clinical territories

Abstract

The author reflects on the extension of the psychoanalytic clinic, showing how ideas, studies and discussions built up over several years have led various Latin American groups to put their thinking into action, by allowing themselves to be penetrated by issues of the city and directly relate to diverse territories. These studies have shown how psychoanalytic actions can take place in various types of encounter between subjectivities, highlighting their challenges as well as their effectiveness and power.

Keywords: Extended clinic; community; institution; narrative; psychoanalytic listening.
