Speech is one of the main tools of psychotherapy. This represent an obstacle to the treatment of congenital deaf patients who do not use the oral language. Here we aim to analyze processes of psychic construction in deaf patients who use sign language, its relationship with the linguistic modality and indicate possible considerations for psychotherapy whit this population. We carried out a mutiple case study through a psychotherapy program, planned to attend three congenital deaf subjects fron the deal community of São José do Rio Preto –SP, selected by lot, from a private clinical record. The program was structured in 26 sessions, developed by a psychoanalyst versed in the Brazilian Sign Language. The sessions tool place an individual and systematic basis, aiming to observe the patterns in the development of mental processes, held once a week, lasting 50 minutes. For data analysis we used Spink’s Association Maps and Trees (2010). The results indicate that differences in the semiotic system of language in congenital deaf people determine adaptations in the psychic development of these patients due the psychotherapeutic treatment for deaf people must take place in their own semiotic system, symbolic organization and culture.

O artigo objetiva investigar os Projetos Pedagógicos de Curso (PPC) das universidades públicas do Paraná, buscando identificar indicativos de movimento para a formação dos futuros profissionais para atuação no Sistema Único de Assistência Social (SUAS), adotando como balizador o tema “políticas públicas”. A análise partiu de elementos presentes nas matrizes curriculares que se remetiam na referida política. Ainda que fosse observado a incidência de disciplinas que se propõem a debater as políticas públicas, tal movimento foi considerado demasiadamente baixo, o que nos leva a concluir a existência de marginalização dos temas investidos na formação do psicólogo.

This paper seeks to introduce the field of social aesthetics, concerning both the phenomenological tradition and psychology academic research. It proposes a brief return to the history of the phenomenological movement and it points out the relevance of concepts like sensitivity and intersubjectivity. In the context of contemporary phenomenology, particularly following Merleau-Ponty's thought, the paper focus on the aesthetics concept in relation to the environment (Arnold Berleant) and the issue of the otherness (João Frayze-Pereira). The revision of the idea of aesthetic as a theory of sensibility opens up the field of everyday aesthetics and the meaning process of interpersonal relationships. In sum, the contribution of the field of social aesthetics in psychology highlight the participatory aspects of the sensitive dimension in social life.

This text aims to guide an analytical debate from the affections experienced by a researcher teacher when accessing a peripheral territory in the city of Fortaleza-CE, as well as presenting the reasons that led her to undertake the crossing to the other side of this divided city and the repercussions of this on the actions of an Extension project. The relevance of this writing is to promote a critical reflection on the binomial security / insecurity that crosses us in the context of university extension. What is the reality limit of (in)security? What paralyzing and mobilizing affects can we access in this academic activity’s territories? In order to dialogue with these questions, we chose to cut scenes of this insertion in the periphery, presenting some micropolitics resulting from the affectations produced by the participation of the subjects involved in this project, through analyzes of the relationship between the participating children and the academic team; the relationship of these children with their neighborhood and the city (beyond the “walls” of the periphery).

Abstract: This article discusses the method of Conversations in its ethical-political dimension. It was used for the narrativization of psychological distress among adolescents. The intervention research was carried out with young people from a high school located on Fortaleza. Conversations are configured as a work methodology developed from psychoanalysis, widely used in working with young people in school contexts. Its objective is to provide a space for the elaboration of malaise that emerges as an impasse in the social bond. The Conversations took place in the second semester of 2019 and had a group of eight teenagers. The experience attested the power of Conversations as a way to narrate the psychological suffering in its socio-political dimension. The adolescents, when translating their malaise into words, moved between shared experiences and the subjectification of what is unique to them. Psychological suffering was associated by adolescents with family difficulties, experienced mourning and the violence present in the territory where they live. Keywords: Adolescence, Psychoanalysis; Conversations; Narrativization; Psychic Suffering.

This article aims to reflect on epistemic-methodological issues in the construction of narratives in participatory research. We place our reflections based on three researches carried out in the doctoral process, of two researchers and one researcher who are part of different Institutions, but participate in the same research group - GEPCOL-UFPE, the same GT-ANPEPP, and developed their studies with a focus on youth narratives. We highlight in these studies that for the execution of participatory research that seeks to build narratives, it is necessary to the emergence of an alternative path to hegemonic models, which requires a change in the researcher's posture, in the sense this considers the social markers that constitute it in the relationship with the participants and in the construction of information. It is also necessary to use methodological epistemic references that make it possible to value the experiences of the subjects, that allow them to speak, to be heard, and to have their voices visible in the texts. We believe that the narrative is political for being shared, for seeking to make visible the situations of oppression and inequality in society, and also for contributing to the construction of decolonial practices and resistance.

The present article presents a series of reflections upon participatory research, focusing on the relationships established between children, young people and adults. Based on the different researches the authors have taken part in two universalisms often present in studies with children and young people are problematized. On the one hand, developmental psychology’s universalism objectifies children and young people as individuals who are less capable than, and in the process of acquiring rationality and identity. On the other hand, recent studies conducted mainly in the global North project the newer generations as autonomous beings that can clearly enunciate their voices and state their points of view, as long as the proper conditions to do so are guaranteed. In opposition to such universalisms, it is defended that the interdependent relationship between the researcher and the researchee produces both subjects, and that it is through this relationship that the research can be made participatory and relevant to those taking part in it.

Indicators of psychological distress in adolescence contrasts with the provision of public policies and social technology available to this population. We consider social and affective technology, the construction of strategies, products and objects that can be used to mediate the human's relationship with reality and allow the construction of new possibilities of thinking and acting, in the face of what has been experienced. This article will seek to report the path of this experience and the strategies on the construction of a methodology for working with and for adolescents, Guardians of Life in Schools, and the elaboration of an emotional care booklet for adolescents, with the objective of build resources and protective mental health and suicide prevention, involving intersectoral articulation of themes and flows in education, health and assistance. Keywords: Adolescence; mental health; school

Normative masculinity and alexithymia may negatively affect sexual life and men’s well-being.  In this study, the endorsement of traditional male norms, alexithymia and sexual behavior were assessed through an online survey directed to Brazilian men. Relationship status and religion were also addressed, and associations and correlations between variables were carried out. The survey presented 66 items, including standardized questionnaires, such as Meanings of Adolescent Masculinity Scale, Toronto Alexithymia Scale and Male Sexual Quotient. The sample consisted in 528 Brazilian men with high socioeconomic and educational levels. Alexithymia was negatively correlated with sexual satisfaction. The endorsement of traditional male norms was positively correlated with pornography use and was also associated with sharing of pornographic material through social media. Married men had the lowest levels of alexithymia, with significant difference when compared with men who are not currently in a relationship. Furthermore, having a religion was associated with greater endorsement of traditional male norms. These findings suggest that alexithymia may have greater influence on behaviors associated with interpersonal relations, including sexual satisfaction and relationship status. Conversely, normative masculinity was linked to personal variables, which did not involve a partner, including pornography consumption and religion.                 

This article aims to discuss how urban violence is addressed by professionals working in teams of the Family Health Strategy in the city of Fortaleza, highlighting how the intensification of homicides has had an impact on their daily lives. It is an unfolding of an intervention-research, in the light of the cartography method, which analyzed institutional practices around the issue of juvenile homicides in territories on the outskirts of the capital of Ceará. The work sought articulations of Social Psychology with authors from related fields who follow similar paths in dealing with youth and the expressions of violence. Data were produced through observations, daily conversations, interviews and discussion groups. The results and discussion section highlights: the challenge of taking violence as an object of action-reflection-action, demanding a set of community and intersectoral actions and the need for a new agenda in the context of health policies to deal with violence.

Considering the frequent occurrence of homophobia in the school context, the objectives of the study were to retrospectively investigate the experiences of homophobia at school among university students, as well as analyzing the perception of young people about the action of the school staff in the face of homophobia. Therefore, 104 university students responded to a translated and adapted version of the questionnaire National School Climate Survey - Gay, Lesbian, Straight, Education Network. Participants reported having experienced or witnessed experiences of homophobic violence, like homophobic comments (93.1%); spreading rumors and lies (61.5%); exclusion (85.7%); physical aggression (48.1%); sexual harassment (61.5%); e cyberbullying (50%). Among the 25 participants who identified themselves as gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender or questioning, 80% pointed that was uncomfortable when their sexual orientation or gender identity was revealed to people in their school. Situations that indicate homophobia on the part of the school staff were also reported: 58.6% pointed that they heard homophobic comments made by teachers or school staff and 30.8% reported that the school staff never took any action when they were present during homophobic comments. The conclusion is that there is a need for prevention and intervention actions in situations of homophobia at school, as well as preparation of the school staff to deal with the issue.

This article proposes to reflect on the film “They  Live” (Carpenter, 1988), by director John Carpenter, considering the formulations of Freud and Lacan on the constitution of the subject and the Lacanian development on the discourse of the capitalist. Carpenter, in his cinematographic work, presents the capitalism from the perspective of the working class that suffers from the effects caused by the system. The aim of this study is to approach, based on psychoanalytic theory in conjunction with cinema, the subject's relation with consumer objects.

Neoliberalism caused changes in the organization of public service work, including in universities, impacting the lives and health of workers. Thus, the aim of this research was to carry out a systematic review of scientific articles on mental illness among workers at Brazilian public universities, identifying the causes, illnesses and consequences for the lives of workers and for the institutions to which they are linked. For this, a search was made in three databases, two digital libraries and a database, whose final sample was 21 articles. It was noted that civil servants are mainly affected by occupational stress and burnout, in addition to other consequences for civil servants. There is a prevalence of studies with professors to the detriment of administrative servers. There was a scarcity of publications abou0t the impact of these illnesses on institutions. The importance of the data found for future research on the mental health of workers in public universities is highlighted.

The article derives from an ongoing research that aims to understand how the conditions of social vulnerability in which many young Brazilians find themselves are articulated to helplessness as a psychic effect and, more specifically, how the relationship with the school takes part in the impasses of adolescence in the social bond. At the interface between psychoanalysis and education, we will work with the material raised from the realization of workshops with classes from the 9th grade of elementary school to the 3rd year of high school in two public schools in the state of Rio de Janeiro. The adolescents used the space of the workshop to express their helplessness, either by silence, by confrontation or by their expression in words in the secrets shared in the workshops, which were grouped as follows: helplessness in relation to the material conditions of the school; helplessness for not feeling welcomed by the school;helplessness in the relationship with their peers; expressions of helplessness as discouragement.

This text presents the results of a research that aimed to understand the role of professional psychologists in the Brazilian prison context, based on the literature produced and published in the main databases linked to the CNPq. A survey was carried out in the databases in the year 2020 and 7 works were selected for analysis. It was identified that most publications are from 2015, with a greater geographic concentration in the Southeast region. Discussions about the role that (o) psychologist (o) should play in this space and what is her real role prevail. It was found that the practices most exercised by psychologists in the prison system are individual care, psychological assessment and preparation of documents. There is a need for further discussions and research on the role of psychologists in the prison context, as well as these discussions during training in psychology.
