Pesquisa Documental de Prontuários de Atendimento Psicanalítico de Bebês: Proposta de Análise Qualitativa em Cinco Tempos

Abstract

Introduction: The study investigated babies, in the intersexed condition, followed longitudinally, at the Neonatal Screening Reference Service (SRTN), from the parents' perception. Method: Qualitative analysis in five stages, designed to support the documentary study of medical records of psychoanalytic care for babies, whose content constitutes the object of investigation by the researcher. Five moments are established, highlighting the embracing of theoretical, technical and ethical dimensions. Result: We observed changes in the symbolic screen of the parents, due to the influences of the different moments experienced: 1. Diagnostic path. 2. Pre-surgical period until the moment of the karyotype result. 3. Pre-surgical period after the karyotype result. 4. Post-surgical period. The temporality of the registration proved to be crucial in detecting specific phases for the intersexuality issue, verifying how fathers and mothers revealed suffering and specific relation to each phase faced, from birth to the postsurgical moment. The understanding of projections, flawed acts and contradictions, throughout the narratives, allowed to broaden the view of the cases studied. Conclusions: Studying medical records, allowed to enter into aspects that a structured interview might not reveal. The psychologist's observations on clinical facts were decisives, as they reveal conflicts, desires expressed by faulty acts, contradictions, forgetfulness.
