The psychological function within a context that works with the urgency: Emergency Department of the Hospital Complex San Filippo Neri

Abstract

The contribution explores the clinical setting of psychological intervention within a context that works with the urgency and that is not expected in the service of such an intervention, such as hospital emergency department. We propose a reflection on the particular setting of non-traditional intervention, with the aim to rethink how they contribute to the development of the interpretation. With the traditional word mean mental attitude who already knows what, how and where do, without wondering how functional thinking emotions in the psychoanalytic relationship. The reasons why I participate in the debate on the psychological function of with a reflection on the setting of the intervention within the contexts of urgency, are related to the interest for a psychology that meetings cultures socially relevant. The current culture of urgency is as widespread as difficult to think, but rather tends to reified. Consider the immediacy of communication technology and social networking, or increasing high-speed rail or air transport. The culture of urgency is often a culture where it moves the psychological intervention today. The culture of urgency, if you do not shake it, it can become the anchor for the exploration of new opportunities for professional development.
