Objective: To know the social representations of nurses about the care that women who use crack provide the newborn in the postpartum period. Methodology: Qualitative research whose theoretical framework was the Theory of Social Representations. Participated 14 nurses who worked at the Maternity and Obstetric Center of a hospital in southern Brazil. Data were collected in the second half of 2018, through semi-structured interviews and submitted to the Collective Subject Discourse. Results: The social representations are that most have difficulty developing attachment with the baby after delivery, but they are affectionate and intend to breastfeed. While the baby is in the unit, their care is the responsibility of the nursing staff who are concerned / afraid about an accident / carelessness with the mother. The woman's life context will influence her care for the baby, but they feel guilty about what may happen to them due to the use of crack. Many neglect caring for the child who, after birth, goes for adoption. Final Considerations: These women need to be welcomed and monitored during pregnancy and postpartum, receiving psychological and social care, being referred for family planning. It is necessary to train health professionals in order to minimize the difficulties they have in caring for the newborn in the postpartum period.

In this article, we outline and problematize the production of subjectivity by military police women from their experiences in the daily work of a Military Police Battalion in the state of Paraná (MPPR). As a theoretical basis for our discussions, we recovered some of Michel Foucault's assumptions, such as subjectivity, discipline and discursive practices. To this end, the survey counted on the participation of six active police officers, through interviews. In this way, we investigate what is the relationship between the experiences as police of these women, with the way in which they are produced as subjects in an institution historically considered to be male. From the analysis carried out, we developed a category called “care relationships with the other”. We consider that characteristics considered as masculine directly permeate the production of subjectivities of police women who have their experiences in this institutional context crossed by discourses and practices based on a gender binarism that supports an ideal of feminine, at the same time, in which it reinforces an ideal of referential masculinity. We understand that there is a need to deepen some perspectives with regard to research in Psychology in the field of the Military Police, such as gender relations, for example.

The purpose of this essay is to reflect and think about barbarism within the current stage of civilization, against the backdrop of the contemporary refugee crisis. We chose as the north of the research the developments of the question of the Father in psychoanalytic theory and the theoretical production of some thinkers from other fields of knowledge, with which it is possible to establish interdisciplinary dialogues about violence, cruelty and the destruction of social ties.

The aims of this article is to discuss the war strategies in peripheral territorialities, operating in the production of new non-intense forms of lethal violence in Brazil, taking the city of Fortaleza as an empirical example and uses Achille Mbembe's notion of necropolitics as the main conceptual operator. At first, brings theoretical reflections from the dialogs that Mbembe weaves with Foucault, Agamben, Arendt and Fanon. Secondly, parses as "war machines" engender "death zones, being the link between discipline, biopolitical production and regulation/management of a "do die" feature of colonial occupation today. With this, we point out how the escalation of deadly violence in the urban margins expressed your condition of contemporary colonies, in which racionalitation processes maximize precariousness of black youth bodies, under the foundation of perpetuation of enmity.

Abstract Adolescence is a period of change, specially in relation to the body, in which body indentity is transformed. This can be understood by the physical and psychologica perception, and influence by the socio-cultural contexto, which is presente in eletronic games. The aim was verify in what ways the body identities of adolescentes are represented in eletronic games. The netnographic methodology was used, which allows data collection from characteristics of digital enviorinments and communication mediated by computers, with participant observation. Therefore, for data collection it was used a structured interview was carried out on online platforms by Google Forms, which reached 153 players from League of Legends, Perfect World and Second Life. Quantitative analysis showed that male adolescentes feel more represented by avatrs (p ≤ .05), consequently, they choose characters of the same gender. In addition, gaming habits indicate that, depending on the type of game, the longer the hours played (p = 0.024). Indeed, it can be obvserved that the construction of the characters of the games is crossed by the socio-cultural aspect, reproducing the discouses of gender stereotyping. However, it was found that the relationship of body image representation and games are the meanings produced by the player.  Keywords: Video games; body image; adolescents; sport psychology.

We aimed at evaluating the life quality of students of a public university in Ceará state. A transversal study with a quantitative approach developed during the first semester of 2019 with 880 students enrolled in the nineteen graduation courses of a public university of Ceará state countryside. The instrument used was the WHOQOL – bref. The majority, 58,2%, was women, and 85,8% were between 18 and 25 years old. The rates of Life Quality domains were physical (60,6), social relations (59,9), psychological (56,2), and environment (50,9). Men presented better life quality levels in physical (p<0,0001), psychological (p=0,0001), and environment (p=0,005) domains. About age gaps, the environment domain presented itself as statistically significant in ages between 18 and 20 (p=0,044). Regarding marital status, there was a statistically significant difference between psychological (p=0,004) and social relations (p=0,049) domains. This indicates that having a love relationship presented better LQ (Life Quality) rates. The suggestion is that the university proposes actions that aim to increase the life quality of its students and to do so, this group must be systematically heard about their difficulties and psychosocial demands.

This article aims to report an intervention experience that consisted of Literacy Workshops with users of a Psychosocial Care Center for people with needs arising from the use of Alcohol and other Drugs (CAPS-AD). Starting from the theoretical articulation between the references of psychosocial care and critical pedagogy, the article presents an experience report type study in which the methodology of participant observation was used. The Literacy Workshops took place throughout the second semester of 2019. Among the main results of the intervention are the formation of bonds between the participants and the constitution of a space for sharing their perceptions about educational processes and exclusion in a literate society. The use of active methodologies in conducting the workshops resulted in satisfactory adherence by the participants. In addition, autonomy stands out as a methodological tool and an important result in the educational practices of young people and adults. Finally, the article argues the importance of Literacy Workshops as strategic resources in the expanded mental health clinic and signals the need for further studies on literacy within the scope of psychosocial care.

The objective of this article was to produce evidence of validity for a measure of homophobia. For that, an adaptation process of items of a subtle and manifested homophobia scale was developed and an online survey was carried out with 985 Brazilian individuals, over 18 years of age and with an average age of 26.01 years (SD = 7.52). In addition to this instrument, a socio-identity questionnaire, a scale of prejudice against sexual and gender diversity and an internalized homophobia scale were applied. With the selected sample, an Exploratory Factorial Analysis and a Confirmatory Factor Analysis were performed, in addition to measures to identify evidence of criterion validity, convergent and concurrent. The results pointed to the possibility of two models on the Scale of Attitudes towards Homosexuality (ATHO), one with two factors, Distal Attitudes (α = 0.855) and Proximal Attitudes (α = 0.819), and the other with a single factor (α = 0.881), both with satisfactory adjustments. The correlation with another one measure of prejudice against sexual diversity was significant, positive and of high magnitude (r = 0.851). Men, residents of small or medium-sized cities, people who studied up to high school and heterosexual individuals had significantly higher scores in ATHO than peer groups. These results attest that there are signs of validity on the scale, indicative of good psychometric properties and that it can be used to investigate homophobia. Keywords: Homophobia; Homosexuality; Prejudice; Scaling.

Este estudo se trata de um Trabalho de Conclusão de Residência, a partir da inserção enquanto Residente de Psicologia em um programa de Residência Multiprofissional de um hospital público do Nordeste. De modo geral, objetivou-se analisar como o processo de adoecimento e hospitalização é vivenciado por pacientes internados na clínica médica, um dos primeiros cenários de prática do referido programa de residência. Especificamente, buscou-se identificar: os aspectos emocionais do processo de adoecimento e hospitalização; as percepções dos pacientes a respeito do acompanhamento psicológico durante o período de hospitalização; e, por fim, as percepções dos pacientes acerca das contribuições do acompanhamento por uma equipe multiprofissional. Utilizou-se um roteiro de entrevista semiestruturada. Contou-se com a participação voluntária de 5 pacientes, que tiveram seus discursos gravados e analisados através da análise de conteúdo de Bardin. Para esses sujeitos, o hospital transita ora como um espaço que proporcionará alívio de sintomas e recuperação da saúde, ora como um ambiente que pode acarretar em ansiedade e angústia. A atuação em equipe de forma interprofissional e articulada é imprescindível, de modo a ampliar as possibilidades de intervenção. Portanto, os resultados provenientes do estudo podem servir de subsídios para a atuação de diversos profissionais no contexto hospitalar

The presence of psychic suffering in students of the psychology program led us to the development of a psychoanalytically inspired device to welcome these students with a method of group intervention mediated by varied artistic resources. Four meetings were held in spaces other than the classroom. The results of the intervention revealed that the use of aesthetic and cultural objects (transformational objects) in a group context helped change the word as a means of symbolically anchoring anguish, thus opening opportunities to restore creativity and poetry to the students’ lives. Keywords: Art; psychoanalysis; psychic suffering; psychologist training.

This article is a theoretical study that aimed to analyze the incorporation of the category "conscientization" in the field of Community Social Psychology (PSC), in order to reflect on the complex theoretical framework that constitutes such an assumption and the challenges that are posed for the professional practice of the community psychologist in the current Brazilian social context. Therefore, we seek to delineate the theoretical bases of the category of conscientization based on Paulo Freire and its adoption by latin american social psychology, such as Ignácio Martín-Baró and Maritza Montero. Then, we discuss the possible theoretical-methodological impasses faced by professionals in psychology to implement the conscientization in the spaces of professional and community action. We considers that the limits and possibilities placed on the task of conscientization involve a historical analysis of social and subjective phenomena, in their dialectical relationship, making it increasingly necessary to rescue and strengthen critical perspectives of action that they assume, in their radicality, the ethical-political perspective of Liberation.

The purpose of this work is to expose the vicissitudes of the concept of repetition in Freud 's work and in Lacan' s teaching, considering its fundamental relationship with the drive. To do so, we approach repetition in two periods: the first, in which it presents itself as acting out and articulated to the sexual drive, transference and resistance. In the second moment, we talk about the repetition in its relation with the death drive which reveals its condition of being beyond the transference and points to a tychic encounter with the real. Lacan's radicality and originality was emphasized in his return to Freud by giving repetition the status of a fundamental concept, which had been disregarded among the Freudian post.

The new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic produced and continues to produce, several meanings around the life of the Brazilian population, where the communication media remain present in the news about the developments of this situation. This study aims to analyze information conveyed in the context of the pandemic, seeking to understand and explain aspects anchored in the production of the speeches, the meanings produced, as well as the materialities expressed through consumption and accumulation behavior of the population, raised by the pandemic. Ten journalistic articles, published on the Internet between March and April 2020, were analyzed in the light of risk psychosociology, inspired by authors such as Ulrich Beck and Mary Jane Spink; consumer behavior, mainly from Jurandir Freire Costa, and under the necropolitics' lens of Achille Mbembe. The analyzed behaviors expose chronic social problems, where the exacerbated consumption seeks to sustain the illusory scenario of security face the advance of the virus, emptying shelves, in acts that neglect those who do not have financial resources to guarantee their inputs, operating in favor of necropolitical technologies. In media activity, there are incitements to consumption and amplification of the feeling of fear in the face of the supposed shortage announced.

This work aims at discussing how indigenous children have been approached in psychology researches in Brazil. We presented the results of a bibliographical research carried out in the psychology area, comparing them with three other areas of knowledge (education, anthropology and sociology). We collected articles published in highly rated national journals. Firstly, the selection of journals was performed considering only those supported by Brazilian institutions of each area. We selected 192 journals, from which 42 are from psychology. Subsequently, eight descriptors were searched in the paper abstracts, without applying any publishing date restrictions. Considering the four areas, 6.264 papers appeared in our search, however only 36 of those papers (0,57% of the total) report researches on indigenous childhood(s)/child(children). Regarding psychology, among 2.946 papers which appeared in our search, only 4 papers (0,13% of the papers of the area) approach those children. After thoroughly reading the articles, it was observed that when such children are heard, the drawings, identity, culture, games appear as themes for psychology studies. This work demonstrates the low visibility of this generational, ethnic and racial group in the researched areas, allowing us to observe that psychology needs more and more dedicate itself to listening to these children in research contexts.

ABSTRACT   This article aims to report the experience of a Harm Reduction group with users being monitored at the Center for Psychosocial Care for Alcohol and other Drugs in the city of Horizonte - CE, in addition to describing how the actions in the group are developed and presenting strengths and weaknesses harm reduction strategies in the treatment of psychoactive abuse. For this, it is a descriptive study, of the experience report type, elaborated in the context / experience of the Integrated Residence in Health - emphasis on Collective Mental Health by the School of Public Health of Ceará. We consider the harm reduction group to be an indispensable therapeutic resource, as it promotes the redefinition of the meanings attributed to the act of caring, in addition to showing not only the construction of a care relationship, but also the possibility of a relationship based on protagonism and autonomy of users, in addition to contributing significantly to coping strategies, especially for users who are unable or unwilling to interrupt consumption. The experience contributed to the expansion of possibilities in the challenge of the use and dependence of alcohol and other drugs, aiming at the realization of a comprehensive care model that prioritizes the users' subjectivity.   Keywords: Harm reduction; psychoactive substances; caution.
