Abstract
This article presents the theoretical foundations of the implementation of a psychoanalytic clinic for autistic children inside a Federal University. We will present what this clinic is based on, how it started, its operation, its praxis in the institution and how the treatment of the autistic child is performed at the Applied Psychology Service at a Federal University. The method involves a discussion of the “state of art” in this field with the aim of discussing the theoretical bases and the recent implementation (2019) of a psychoanalysis service by the Federal University of São João del-Rei for autistic children by means of the practice among several, as the method that aggregates all the interventions performed by all the people who work with autistic children at the institution. We emphasize in this article the importance of the theoretical basis of any clinical work since it guides the treatments available to the general population, especially in times when public health has been precarious. We conclude by reiterating the necessity of this specialty of work done by psychoanalysis, especially the psychoanalytic clinic of autism in times of mass treatment, which aims to remove psychoanalysis from the field of possible practices of care in public mental health policies.
