Abstract

Considering aspects related to the invention of childhood and the beginning of possible therapeutic work with children through psychoanalysis, this article proposes to discuss important questions regarding child psychotherapy, raised during the Integrated Internship in Psychology in the practice of analytical psychotherapy. To do so, notions of resistance and their articulations with transference will be discussed, as well as the identification of children with animals and the choice of transitional objects during the session, which show themselves as powerful allies for the child’s expression and constitute access routes to the unconscious.
