Espaço de conversa sobre o trabalho e o trabalhar: breve análise de uma prática de psicodinâmica do trabalho em uma instituição de ensino

This article aims to discuss an experience narrative that occurred in a unit of a Federal Educational Institute, located at Rio de Janeiro state, in which was proposed an activity based on the Christophe Dejours psychodynamic theory of work. The activity was proposed to nine workers with different careers, employment bonds and professions. Besides, it was accomplished in seven meetings, lasting two months. The idea of this activity was based on the concerns detected, mainly related to moral harassment, during social work and psycological care. The activities were elaborated along with the participants, inspired by Christophe Dejours´s theory of work, Vincent de Gaulejac´s concerns about the insertion of managerialist ideology, mainly on the public services since 1995, and the changes related to work relations since the 1970’s. The data produced on the activities was analised using the content analisys method proposed by Bardin.
