This article explores Peer Support intervention as a therapeutic tool for displaced
individuals affected by conflict, from a psychoanalytic perspective. Conducted as part of a Clinical
Psychology doctoral project at ISPA-Lisboa, the study uses a qualitative approach involving interviews
with seven displaced people from Syria, Lebanon, Brazil, Iran, Palestine, and Jordan. Participants, some
with physical war injuries, served in peer support roles regardless of their injury status. Using the Free
Association Narrative Interview (FANI) method, the study examines themes of Naming, Identity, and
Identification to access deep intersubjective processes. Findings suggest that Peer Support fosters identity
redefinition and self-positioning within social bonds, addressing the unique identity needs of displaced
individuals. This method of intervention offers a therapeutic function by creating a relational “self-other”
axis, helping individuals reclaim identity and psychological stability amid forced displacement.
