Mental Health of Workers in Education: An experience report from the Psychodynamic Occupational Clinic

Authors

Abstract

This paper presents an experience report about the individual clinical listening of municipal public education workers. Its aim was to reflect on the possibilities of enhancing mental health, based on qualified listening. The reports indicate: difficulties in socio-professional relationships, exhaustion, insecurity, devaluation and impotence as potentiators of mental illness. The Occupational Clinic, in addition to providing the resignification of the psychic suffering of the educators, made possible to problematize about the practices of Psychology, showing itself to be a powerful alternative for interventions.

Key words: Mental Health at Work. Psychodynamic Occupational Clinic. Public Education.
