Abstract
This article aims to reflect about how psychoanalysis can contribute to the health practices developed a Family Health Support Center (NASF) team, in which we highlight the different perspectives about the symptom notion. First and foremost, we contextualize the psychology field and its relationship with the public health and the insertion of the methodological proposal of the NASF creation, considering a recent conception in process of consolidation and with specific aspects, which emphasizes the teamwork and the matrix support methodology. Then, we introduce the different notions of symptom between the medical and psychoanalytic discourse, propounding an articulation that supports the psychoanalysis practice perspective proposing an articulation to base the practice guided by psychoanalysis. Therefore, we demonstrate that the psychoanalysis marks a difference on the symptom approach, which has a unique function to the subject instead of being only a suffering to be eliminated, thus, it has importance when listening to the subject, divided on his desire, which can be also sustained in teamwork.
