Abstract
This article is an account of the experience of a proposal to extend psychoanalysis to other fields of knowledge, in this case education and mental health. To this end, the interventions presented describe part of the trajectory of a research team that was initially linked to the Faculty of Psychology at the University of Vassouras. From practices of care supported by psychoanalytic theory to children, adolescents, and their family members who were not welcomed in public health and assistance devices in the region, and from field observations and analyzes that revealed medicalizing discourses in schools, in 2018, the research was reoriented and was from that point on shared with the non-governmental organization Chega Junto, created both with the aim of contributing to the transformation of plastering discourses and practices in bureaucratic spaces and of participating in the continuing education of professionals who are interested in the contribution of psychoanalysis to the work in the context of their schools and how this network is built. The proposal is realized with the theoretical and practical daily work of the research group, and involves different interventions. Authors referring to both fields of knowledge mentioned were used as a basis for theoretical discussion. With the results presented, the attitudes of the students, the school team, and the dynamics among them changed significantly, which expresses the possibility of changes from the provision of space for voice and listening to the subjects in the collective.
