The unconscious psychological fields are organizations that influence intersubjective practices, both individual and collective. Thus, the study of the collective imagination of psychologists in training is very important, as this can interfere with their therapeutic practices. The objective of this research is to investigate the collective imagination of students of fourth and fifth years of Psychology at UNESP / Assis – they were acting on stage nuclei in psychoanalytic clinics in Winnicott’s approach – regarding psychosomatic disorders. The research involved the participation of 8 students, by using the Thematic Drawing-and-Story Procedure. Instructions for the application was: Draw a person with psychosomatic disorder. This instrument was applied through a group interview for the collective imaginary approach, which provided the possibility of survey participants getting in touch and sharing feelings about the topic covered. After using this tool, we analyze some psychological fields and subfields of the collective imagination that emerged from productions such as the field of Feelings and the subfield of Loneliness. These fields and subfields were the object of Winnicott’s psychoanalytic analysis. From our analysis, we observed that students have a basic understanding of Winnicott’s theory. However, regarding the psychosomatic, his views also demonstrated restrictions. Although this has been observed, the productions have shown the value of the topics brought by them as well as the importance of other works that address these issues.
