Abstract

This paper is the result of the experience as a psychologist resident in a bone marrow transplant unit. The research object was the invisibility of the illness and its reverberations. A case study was performed, which was based on theoretical framework of the Dasein concept, designed by M. Heidegger. This refers to the way the being places itself in the world, always considering it in a relationship with the other, even with his own finiteness, from the language. As results, it was noted that this invisibility produces repercussions not only for the patient, but also for the environment. For these patients, the transplant often puts them in a straighter relationship with the disease, reinforcing its concreteness and severity. Therefore, recognizing this phenomenon has effects on clinical work, providing a listening space and a presence that helps them to develop their own ways of dealing with the experiences arising from treatment.
