It debates the notion of psychic crisis according to Pierre Fédida. The authors discuss the case of a hospitalized HIV/AIDS patient, in which the countertransference effects of psychotherapy suggest the critical processes of the psychic crisis situation and the desire to “know about oneself”. The analytical process enabled the patient to do so. The paper considers that the notion of psychic crisis contributes to research concerning psychoanalytic psychotherapy in the hospital.Acesso AbertoCrise psíquicaPacientes internados - HIV-AIDSTécnica psicanalíticaPsicoterapia psicanalítica no hospitalSituação de crise psíquica e desejo de saberThe psychic crisis situation and the wish do knowSituation de crise psychique et désir de savoirSituación de crisis psíquica y deseo de saberPsychische Krisensituation und der Wunsch, sich selbst zu verstehen心理危机状态和认识自我的欲望。Artigo de PeriódicoCNPQ::CIENCIAS HUMANAS::PSICOLOGIAhttp://dx.doi.org/10.1590/1415-4714.2016v19n1p70.6
