Being psychologist in a hospital: a cartography of experiences of the making of a place, under C. G. Jung's analytical psychology inspiration. Master's Degree dissertation, Institute of Psychology, University of Sao Paulo, Sao Paulo. The profession of a psychologist in a hospital institution is like an art that adjusts with every day of work and reveals challenging realities in relation to its insertion and its practice. The aim of this study was to discuss the process of the construction of the psychologist's place in a general hospital inspired by references to analytical psychology. I adopted cartography as the work methodology, using narratives obtained from logbooks which described restlessness, questioning and reflections about situations experienced over the course of my work while I was a psychologist at a general hospital in the municipality of Sao Paulo. The term place, which transcends the physical environment, was understood as emotional availability by means of various situations that occur in terms of time and space in the hospital. It refers to a particular way of occupying a residence and which is shaped by a clinical attitude, in its etymological sense. The appropriation of one's place is a process of construction, foundation, and maintenance, permeated by variables such as: formation, supervision, personal analysis, knowledge in relation to the institution's reality and context and the appropriation of a creative persona to make one's way through this context which corresponds to an institutional self. This construction shows itself to be in synchrony with the psychologist's process of individuation, in its aspects of professional development. Also taking into account that in such work for the hospital, one's individuation crosses with that of the other characters that are also making their way through this context. Through a posture of readiness, demands are entrusted to the psychologist who listen to them, clarifying meanings so that the meeting happens as possible it can be and in a process travelled together and in such a way that the other person is given back their potential for responsibility and care. It is also important to pay attention to one's attitude within the team and in relation to the way in which you receive and deal with the requests for interventions. It is also necessary a reconciliation and flexibility between kairotic time and chronological time, between the patient's emotional needs, the psychologist's personal availability and the practical emergencies and pressures of the hospital context. The myth of Hestia may inspire a soothing attitude to human suffering and discomfort. In the same way as the psychologist's emotional availability, Hestia's hearth is a place of passage and should always be kept lit; it provides the 'being' in order to reestablish a care to 'be' and to rescue new ways to continue 'being'. Meanwhile Hermes' inspiring presence paves the way for the transition towards what is still to come, forwarding meanings to the impasses of daily hospital life. A question that also showed to be relevant, as it lays the foundations for Psychology's place in any whatsoever context, refers to that which challenges Psychology's place as a science and to what calling it is currently directed. The psychologist's place in the hospital, as in any other place, exists due to its legitimacy. We need merely recognize it and inhabit it. For this reason, we cannot expect that it is shown to us; we have to clarify it by our own attitude. Key-words: psychology in the hospital; Jungian psychology; psychology of health; myths; training of psychologist. SUMÁRIO
