Abstract

Introduction: Chronic illness and hospitalization bring experiences to children that are threatening from both a physical and psychological point of view. Falling ill is a complex, disruptive and traumatic experience, which causes emotional overload for children and their families. Objective: to understand the scenario of childhood illness and hospitalization, linking body marks to symbolic marks.Method:This is qualitative, exploratory theoretical-clinical research in the field of psychoanalysis. Result: The process of chronic illness places the subject in a subjective drama with the need to mourn and deal with the narcissistic wound and even think about death in the face . The hospital gains symbolic contours beyond the space for treating the disease and its symptoms: a place where the disease insists on showing itself and remaining. Conclusion: Illness involves components beyond the biological, cognitive and emotional dimensions, being crossed by subjective and symbolic issues that guide the way the subject will deal with their ill body, therefore implying reflections on the child as the protagonist of their process and listening of the subject in its symbolic dimension.
