There is a possibility of seizing an unexpected Philosophical Anthropology resulting from Existential Analytic of Dasein undertaken by Martin Heidegger in Being and Time - although this was not his philosophical intention. His positions assumed in Zöllikon conference through dialogue with his fundamental ontology, is unequivocally an essential foundation for reflection and development of the human sciences in general and psychology and psychopathology phenomenological in particular. This task must to be performed through scientific and philosophical researches, in parallel, as a essential mission needed to base the practice of human sciences that claim for epistemological foundations in order to provide them to the advent of new scientific productions, and needed elements for inspired thoughts founded in existential-phenomenological precepts, according to their conceptions of intersubjectivities and otherness cooriginatedly expressed in lived stories, times and spaces. The dialogue between science and philosophy, largely imposes the need for a precise distinction between what is assumed as object for those two different sources of production of knowledge, remain in the instance of a mutual incitement, as a condition of possibility for the development and justification of both.

Among these practices, we highlight the ELABORar project and the “Saúde do Trabalhador em Debate” project.

The second project has, as its purpose, popularize discussions about workers’ health by posts in the blog “Vida no Trabalho” and also through participation on monthly programs on the UFC’s college radio for 2 years. The results of these projects have been positively assessed by the participants of the interventions, as the projects have eased a greater role of workers to develop changes in their work’s conditions and organization, encouraging interpersonal relationships in the workplace and thus contributing to improve health in the labor space.

The experience lived by new students in universities consists of many facets. During the first year of University, students go through a process of academic adaptation marked by change. This multidimensional and complex period needs to be investigated, especially in the Brazilian context, in which many changes have occurred in the process of the selection procedures to higher education and only few studies have been developed to assess the difficulties of adaptation of new college students. The aim of this study was to develop an instrument to evaluate the experience of academic transition faced by new students. 275 students of two public universities participated in the research. The instrument was inspired by the Academic Transition Experiences Questionnaire – QETA – introduced by Stocker and Faria (2008), in Portugal. The analysis used the SPSS – Statistical Package for the Social Sciences, and principles of factor analysis: principal components extraction techniques and direct Oblimin rotation, with the reliability test, Alpha of Cronbach. The scale was set in 5 dimensions. The results confirm the relevance of some dimensions, such as peers and teachers, and bring evidence of the importance of secondary education for the study on the transition and adaptation in the academic context.

Practices aimed at the deinstitutionalization process are still very recent in Brazil and are still developing. The purpose of this writing is to reflect on how laboring in the contemporary society can be a possible complication in this process. The importance of the issue is due to the fact that it is influenced by our work that we organize much of our lives and build our subjectivity, making us think that the labor sphere can influence the process of deinstitutionalization since patients, families and professionals are immersed in the contemporary working methods. Discussions raised are the result of a literature review on research bases Scielo, LILACS, Capes and BVS, using the keywords “deinstitutionalization” and “family.” (desinstitucionalização and família in portuguese). The thematic “work” is supported by authors such as Antunes (2003; 2015), Dejours (2004; 2010), Ehrenberg (2010), Lipovetsky (2007). From the reflections raised by theoreticians of Mental Health and critic streams of Social Work Psychology, this critical essay led us to considerations that link labor, in current form, as a complicator for the deinstitutionalization process. Also, the objective and subjective burdens resulting from the complexity of this process are taken in account.
