The loss of an ideal is mentioned by Freud as one of the causes for mourning, an aspect rarely discussed by other authors. The pandemic presents risks of various losses and, for health professionals in direct contact with patients, the loss of this idealized place seems inevitable, due to the severity of the contingency. Starting from that point, we aim to investigate the mourning of the loss of an ideal, as well as the experiences of health professionals attending a psychological support service. An element that surges in this context is the lack of time for experiencing mourning, due to work demands. Freud affirms the importance of not interrupting mourning, and Lacan establishes the possibility of a return to a position of desiring through that process. In the case of health professionals, however, that entails confronting the idealized, which has consequences for the psyche and goes against the demands of productivity to which they are submitted.Este artigo visa discutir a conceituação psicanalítica do luto a partir de Freud e Lacan e possíveis articulações com a atuação dos profissionais de saúde da “linha de frente” no combate à COVID-19, frequentemente associados à imagem idealizada do herói. A perda de um ideal é trazida por Freud como uma das causas possíveis para um luto, aspecto raramente discutido por outros autores. A situação da pandemia traz consigo o risco de diversas perdas, e, para o profissional de saúde em contato direto com pacientes, a perda deste lugar idealizado nos parece inevitável, devido à severidade da contingência. Buscamos investigar o processo de luto diante da perda do ideal, assim como nas experiências de profissionais de saúde atendidos em um projeto de apoio psicológico. Um elemento que surge é a ausência de tempo para a vivência do luto, devido à constante demanda de trabalho. Freud afirma ser importante não interromper o trabalho do luto, e Lacan estabelece a possibilidade de um retorno a uma posição desejante por via de tal processo. No caso dos profissionais de saúde, porém, isso implica confrontar o lugar idealizado, o que tem consequências psíquicas e vai contra as demandas de produtividade às quais estão submetidos.EDUFU - Editora da Universidade Federal de Uberlandia2023-01-26info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionTextoapplication/pdfhttps://seer.ufu.br/index.php/perspectivasempsicologia/article/view/65590Perspectivas em Psicologia; v. 26 (2022): Implicações da pandemia da Covid-19 para a atuação da Psicologia2237-6917reponame:Revista Perspectivas em Psicologia (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Uberlândia (UFU)instacron:UFUporhttps://seer.ufu.br/index.php/perspectivasempsicologia/article/view/65590/35501Copyright (c) 2023 Fabio Menezes dos Anjos, Ivan Ramos Estêvão, Elaine Taminato Harahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMenezes dos Anjos, FabioRamos Estêvão, IvanTaminato Hara, Elaine2023-01-26T19:18:23Zoai:ojs.www.seer.ufu.br:article/65590Revistahttps://seer.ufu.br/index.php/perspectivasempsicologiaPUBhttps://seer.ufu.br/index.php/perspectivasempsicologia/oai||moisesflemos@yahoo.com.br2237-69172237-6917opendoar:2023-01-26T19:18:23Revista Perspectivas em Psicologia (Online) - Universidade Federal de Uberlândia (UFU)false
