| dc.description.abstract | Information and communication technologies (ICTs) are becoming more and more present in the life of the Brazilian population. Due to the expansion of the Internet and its daily use, ICT has influenced interpersonal relationships, as well as the different contexts of social interaction, among them, the clinics that offer psychotherapy service face-to-face. Thus, the use of these technologies can impact psychoanalytic psychotherapeutic technique, especially in the management of professionals, due to the use of these technologies in the professional training and in the technical concepts of the psychodynamic approach. Therefore, to understand how professionals use and manage ICT in clinical practice with their patients, two empirical studies, qualitative and cross-sectional, were carried out with eleven psychologists who had a specialization in psychoanalytic psychotherapy. The data were analyzed by means of realistic thematic analysis, generating three topics of discussion. The results showed that in the use of information and communication technologies, the same technical characteristics of transference and therapeutic alliance of a face - to - face session are maintained, however with adaptations in neutrality, setting and the inclusion of technology as a parameter to technique. It was also pointed out that professionals need professional improvement in the management of technologies, through theoretical and technical instrumentalist, as well as the need to establish discussions and orientations of training institutions and the Psychology Council. The results of this research contribute to the professional improvement, as well as broaden the studies in this subject, especially in psychoanalytic theory. | en |
