Abstract

The present study testifies to the clinical-institutional experience in the psychoanalytic intervention sector of the Institute of Early Childhood, located in the city of Fortaleza – Ceará, whose office is addressed to families in conditions of social vulnerability and, in particular, malnutrition. Starting from a critical context of vulnerability and risk notions, this article aims to present an institutional device focused on the detection and prevention of psychological risk, guided by contributions from the psychoanalytic theory of the psychic constitution and, more recently, the clinic with babies. We highlight one clinical case followed by the sector.
