The subject most mentioned was meaning of live. 38% of authors were by nort-east Brazil's institutes, 75% by field on psychology and 55% had post graduated or were doing it. Was concluded that there are crescent interest about Logotherapy in Brazil however papers about this subject even are few in this country. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper uses the concept of psychoanalytic culture, outlined by psychoanalyst Sérvulo Figueira, in order to discuss the construction of subjectivities in the United States in the 1970s. This concept refers to the assimilation of psychoanalytic ideas into artistic, advertising and media spheres, among others, and how they influenced and were influenced by the cultures that appropriated them. This enabled the design of scientific and popular methods of interpreting suffering and the construction of subjectivities. This paper focuses on the work of American artist Aline Kominsky (1948-2022), published amidst the sexual revolution debates of the 1970s. Kominsky was part of the counterculture generation that produced and distributed comics that challenged established social norms and the patriarchal nuclear family model and demanded the relaxation of sexual norms. The analysis of her work reveals how the artist sought in psychoanalytic ideas the ideal tools to contest social institutions and propose new and less oppressive civilizational models based on the reframing of sexuality.

The paper resumes debates produced during the 20th century in two different historical moments and contexts, but which present a central aspect to an anti-democratic configuration: the establishment of a political border between "us" vs. "them" from the consideration of "them" as an enemy to be destroyed. We resume discussions proposed in the book The Authoritarian Personality, published by Theodor Adorno and colleagues in 1950, and texts produced by Ignacio Martín-Baró in the 1980s, in the context of the civil war in El Salvador. The purpose of resuming these debates is to present reflections and possible solutions formulated by the authors for the social order they were questioning and, based on that, make considerations about some aspects that contribute to the understanding of anti-democratic offensives today, considering the strengthening of the extreme right in Brazil and other countries. Seeking to point out dialogues between those texts and the contemporary context, we also resort to the democratic theory developed by Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe. Considering what was produced in the past not as a "museum piece", but as something that instigates reflection on the past and the present is what motivates the writing of this paper.

Minority influence appeared in social psychology in the 1960's. This theoretical paper aims to present and analyze Serge Moscovici's pioneering studies and their present development. From Moscovici's explanation of the genetic model of social influence, it points out the diagnostic of the lack of comprehensiveness of the functionalist model to explain the conflict of ideas, the conversion and the innovation by minorities' norms and ideas. This paper explains these concepts and exhibits the behavioral consistency and the informational conflict in the conceptual and the operational level. The authors detail the foundational studies of the blue-green paradigm in order to show theoretical and methodological constructs and the incongruence between both. They explore the relationship with social identity theory in the divergent perspectives of the conversion theory and the self-categorization theory. They present new concepts of minorities: the victimized, the perpetrators and those who seek tolerance. Finally, the authors point out the developments already made and those still needed, based on reviews and analysis of the field. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We intend, in the present paper, to explore how Lelia Gonzalez’s oeuvre can be thought in terms of the problem of an epistemological crossroads for the psychoanalytical field: that of assuming itself in a decolonial movement, decentered and destituent regarding the heritage of the colonial context into which it came to be – and in which it is still transmitted –, and, taking over from there, a psychoanalysis that goes in yet another direction, that of elaborating its own theoretical notions, as well as to establish strategies of transmission coherent with the social-historical reality in which it acts. We argue that categories such as blacktuguese [pretuguês], amefricanity and the rethinking of maternal function under the light of a reconsideration of the extensive historical-cultural role of the black mother are all theoretical expedients with relevance and incidence in clinical practice, which can also be seen as the conceptual expression of both a stalemate and a countercolonial creative potentiality. An epistemological lurch such as that is considered here crucially important for Brazilian psychoanalysts, so that they can be up to par – listening and taking part in – the historical demands of their own times.

The social, political and educational reality in Brazil, in recent years, has demanded new positions from the field that articulates Psychoanalysis and Education in the country. This article seeks ways for Psychoanalysis, as a critical theory, in dialogue with the field of education and politics, to contribute to a better understanding of the social symptoms that appear in educational issues and, in particular, in the wave of violence that currently plagues educational institutions. We understand that the recent attacks on schools have to be seen in the context of several other attacks, from the historical lack of investment in education in the country, to the spectre of death that surrounds everyday school life, with the high rates of homicides and suicides in adolescents - expressions and consequences of necropolitics and the suicidal state that is installed in Brazilian society. When discussing educational aspects, we necessarily need to articulate issues of science, nature, economics and politics. By way of conclusion, this paper provokes the need to transmit to young people the desire to imagine other worlds and dream other dreams. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper aims to articulate the possibilities and particularities of carrying out psychological embracement in the judiciary. The need for this reflection was presented in the experience of extensionists in two projects offered by a public university: one developed in legal aid, and the other in a program linked to the Public Prosecutor's Office. The methodology we have used was to run a bibliographic query on the platforms Capes and PePSIC, there, we have found articles that structure the embracement in several areas of psychology. The embracement, in the context of the legal aid, has an interdisciplinary perspective that aims to identify not only the legal but also the psychological demands of the subjects. In this proposal, in partnership with the Public Prosecutor's Office, the embracement should occur throughout the whole monitoring of the case, allowing a more qualified intervention on family conflict. In the extensionist practice articulated with the readings we have found, we identify that the embracement is present in the judiciary psychological practice, although it differs from the clinical and health perspectives. Therefore, there is a need for further research and debates about the limits and possibilities of this practice in the justice system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article aims to present the theoretical construction on female sexuality and femininity in Freud, and then question it from a racial and gender perspective. To this end, the main references employed were works from black female authors who discuss the ethno-racial subject, as well as some which address gender and theories of intersectional feminism. This paper observed the conception of a universal woman that includes the attribution of traits of femininity which are linked to a white, bourgeois and motherly woman figure and, therefore, aren't comprehensive of gender, race and class in their totality, in order to erase the black woman's experience, marked by racism and a slavocratic history. Thus, an omission from Psychoanalysis can be observed regarding to the racial issue and, therefore, the need of think about a contextualized psychoanalysis, which takes into account the historical and social aspects of the reality in which it is inserted, is evident.

The relationship between racism, subjectivity and colonial trauma has increasingly been debated in the field of studies and research in Psychology. This paper focuses on the processes of subjectivation, taking into account the relationship between racism, gender, and colonial trauma, as well as the possible agencies that emerge in the lives of black women activists. We adopt intersectionality as a black epistemological and methodological lens. The discourses and practices of women who are part of the State Forum of Black Women of Rio de Janeiro assume the leading role in this study, creating a space permeated by political agencies of re-existence and demand for black women's voices, listening, and actions. It can be considered, from the performance in the forum, that consciousness and participation in a collective black female political institution act as a driving force both in public spaces, as pressure on the power of the State, as well as preparing black women for microcapillary and everyday spaces. Therefore, it was possible to perceive how the agency of black women can return the colonial trauma to the world through a collective mystic quilombola for "good living". [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper discusses the criticism by Paul B. Preciado, as well as some of its ramifications, in respect of psychoanalysis, which was presented at a conference held at the École de la Cause Freudienne, on November 19th, 2019. We intend to recognize and welcome Preciado's commentary and, in a more comprehensive manner, achieve this through the contemporary perspective of other disciplines, while also considering the possibility of the development of a new epistemology that sets the multiplicity of bodies and sexualities in contrast to the reading undertaken regarding the sexual difference within the psychoanalytic field. For this purpose, we critically analyze the response of three psychoanalysts to Preciado's intervention, and we discuss the issue with the epistemology of sexual difference while situating it in the contemporary dialogues between psychoanalysis and queer studies. Finally, we establish an interpretation of the sexual difference linked to the concept of apparatus, which is proposed by Michel Foucault; namely, as a political epistemology, and as a historically contextualized grammar of subjectivities, among others that are also possible.

The University for All Program (ProUni, in Portuguese) is an affirmative action policy that grants scholarships to low-income students in private higher education institutions. This paper is about an investigation into the insertion and permanence of black scholarship holders in the university based on René Lourau's Institutional Analysis articulated with critical whiteness studies. The data were produced through online group interviews with four students and analyzed together by restitution. In this study, we evidenced that ProUni is an instituting force for inserting students in the university, a place previously destined for the elites, and that it causes tensions produced in the encounter with the establishment. In addition, we demonstrated the urgency of the debate about racial issues in the academy, a space where uncritical whiteness establishes itself as a silent norm. Denaturalizing racial inequalities by unveiling the discomforts that the discussion presents for opening up the structural racism on which it settles in the institution-education, we point out the urgency to create fissures in this structure. Structure that extensively composes, produces and reproduces oppressive logics in the higher education system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper aims to contribute to the visibility of historical narratives about the Pernambuco LGBT movement in the 1980s (at the time defined as homosexual movement), based on the analysis of journalistic productions - digitized and made available in online libraries, originally published in the 1980s - about the work of the Grupo de Atuação Homossexual (GATHO). The 30 publications were organized in an analytical framework, resulting in three lines of analysis: (i) articulations of the Group's political action with other social movements; (ii) articulations and interlocutions of the group in the political arena; (iii) convergences and divergences between the agendas of that movement in the 1980s and the current agendas of the LGBT Movement. We conclude that GATHO articulated with other prominent groups in Brazil, in order to strengthen the resistance movement against the civil-military regime that imposed oppression on sexual diversities, as well as the frequent interlocution with the partisan left. Connections with other groups with more allied agendas were also mapped in the construction of common agendas for demands. In general terms, although there have been changes in the aesthetics and dynamics of the constitution of the movement, it seems that the debate has remained less on identity affirmation and more on confronting discrimination.

This paper investigates the way that gender transitions have been performed in the virtual territory of YouTube through the practice of vlogging, from a post-colonial perspective of Health and Social Psychology, in discussion with african philosophy authors. Ways of experiencing gender and sexuality have achieved new options with the use of biotechnologies as a possibility of body construction and production of the self. From the narratives analyzed, about experiences of binary and non-binary transition, the paper addresses the games between health and access implied in engendering body policies that enable the establishment of relations with gender transition. The experiences of production of non-binary bodies have enabled us to think about negotiations with knowledges produced on gender transitions in the present. Hence, the research favors a reflection on the relation between the human and the corporeity experience, by considering the biotechnologies as part of a mode of subjectivation that is typical of our historical time.

This paper was developed based upon a thematic project "Posttraumatic stress disorder and neuroprogression: trauma and stress increasing load allostatic and accelerating the aging process", conducted with women who suffered sexual assault and developed post-traumatic stress disorder in the state of São Paulo. This study has reports about sexual violence in childhood and adolescence and its re-exposures in adulthood and seeks to bring up understandings about this experience in order to open possibilities for a more appropriate intervention. Reflective interviews were made with four collaborators that previously answered positively to a questionnaire of abuse and neglect during childhood and adolescence in the screening of the Thematic Project. With the phenomenological analysis their speech was split into eight categories (Affections, Guilt, Familiar world, Unsaid, Racism, Health professionals, Today and Sexual violence re-exposure). It has been concluded that sexual violence concerns to a political responsibility, once the collaborators blamed themselves for they believe that their vulnerability was their fault instead of a tradition of gender violence.

Introduction: Among the innumerable possibilities that an individual has to experience and express anger, it is not rare that the feeling gets out of control and ends up in hostility and aggressions, which can lead to important consequences in a person's life and others around. Given this, it is fundamental to apply techniques which are proven effective, aiming at a higher quality of life for the individual and for people who live with them. Objectives: To identify the main techniques for anger management in adults. Method: Systematic review of scientific papers from clinical trials. Results: Nine randomized clinical trials using psychological techniques for anger management were used in the present analysis. Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy was shown to be predominant in the analyzed interventions and proved to be effective in controlling anger. Conclusion: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, especially psychoeducation and cognitive restructuring, are the most frequently used techniques for anger management in several clinical groups of patients, with positive results in emotional regulation.

This paper aims to verify the coping strategies used by a SAMU (Emergency Mobile Care Service) team professionals face to patients' imminent death situations, as well as to evaluate the correlation between coping and anxiety, depression and stress. To this end, a quantitative research was carried out, involving 43 SAMU professionals from a city in the interior of Rio Grande do Sul State, including doctors, nurses, nursing technicians and drivers. Instruments used were the DASS-21 and the Coping Strategies Inventory. Data analysis was performed using descriptive and inferential statistics using the SPSS software. Results indicate that strategies most used by professionals are problem solving, self-control and positive reevaluation. The least used are escape-avoidance and confrontation. In addition, a low rate of stress, anxiety and depression was obtained in the sample. The instruments correlation allowed us to understand these data, since the less used strategies presented a higher correlation with stress, anxiety and depression. It is considered that SAMU professionals use coping strategies that allow the elaboration of situations experienced, which indicates the importance of valuing potentialities to be developed in the service.

Qualitative data analysis has been aided by various computer programs (e.g., Alceste Iramuteq, TXM, Lexicon). Iramuteq is a free software that helps the treatment of textual data and offers different possibilities of analysis based on text statistics, or lexicometry. This paper aims to present this approach and provide theoretical and methodological foundations for the use of Iramuteq in qualitative research. The text discusses the principles of lexicometry and presents the characteristics, potentialities and limits of the different lexical treatment techniques made possible by Iramuteq: Classic Textual Statistics, Specificity Analysis, Similitude Analysis, Factorial Analysis by Correspondence, Descending Hierarchical Classification (Reinert's method - Alceste), Word Cloud and Prototypical Analysis of free evocations. It is expected that the work can stimulate the critical and contextualized use of Iramuteq in qualitative research, as well as contribute to the training of graduate students and researchers in psychology and related fields who can benefit from the use of the tool in their studies.

This paper discusses the cultural learning of two-year-old children of their social environment, examining, from a socio-interactionist perspective, the way they participate in play activities that take place in the peer group. Twenty children were observed twice a week, for forty-five days, totaling 11 video-recorded sessions, each one lasting 24 minutes on average. They played freely in spaces of a Municipal Center for Early Childhood Education, in Recife. Fifty-six episodes of play activity were identified and transcribed. Qualitative analysis shows that children bring knowledge produced in different social environments (macroculture) to the situation of interaction with their peers (microculture). Knowledge of popular culture was inferred from behaviors observed by featuring maracatu and a capoeira performance. The protagonism of children indicates that conventions and rules are respected and shared, which guarantees the negotiation of meanings and the transmission of culture, even among children at their earlier ages. Imitation, complementary, and cooperative actions seem to contribute to the maintenance and reconstruction of knowledge with peers. The importance of providing a collective context of development is underlined to encourage the participation of children in the assimilation and construction of the group's microculture.

The purpose of this paper is to present some considerations about the philosopher Judith Butler's thinking, her criticisms of Lacan's theory, as well as some counterpoints to her critical arguments, aiming to demarcate Butler's possible matches and mismatches with psychoanalysis. Within this course, we identified that the author's criticism is restricted to the first lacanian teaching, disregarding the advances of the sexuation formulas and the notion of sinthome, as a singular arrangement of the falasser with the jouissance. Besides that, we verified that her question about psychoanalysis didn't exclude that, to think about gender, Butler would use the conceptual apparatus of Freudian and Lacanian metapsychology, especially the notion of drive. We concluded that Butler's criticism of psychoanalysis does not need to be taken as a problem or an obstacle, since it promotes a fruitful requirement for theoretical and clinical precision that is emerging nowadays to advance in the debate on the new orders of sexuality.

This paper aims to discuss what can be named as incitation to inclusion through campaigns disseminated in print media. Considering that media plays an important role in the production and propagation of discourses, this paper approaches the campaigns as strategies which aim to educate for inclusion, arguing how them constitute us as inclusive subjects. In addition, it is sought to understand in what way the discourses of Psychology are intertwined with the production of truths about inclusion. In order to do that, 23 reports about inclusive campaigns were selected from Zero Hora newspaper, from March to December 2015. To analyze the campaigns, they were grouped in tables that emphasize who are the subjects of inclusion, which are the inclusion strategies and actions and which are the justifications for such campaigns. It is problematized how the inclusive campaigns have been constituted as educative strategies that widen the inclusion of several subjects, thus subjectifying everyone by means of the inclusion imperative. It is also pointed out that the idea of inclusion is composed of different vectors, both in the sense of normalization and multiplication of difference. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper focuses on the study of life and work of Nilton Quadros Campos (1898-1963). Through the rescue of parts of the brazilian psychiatrist's bibliographic legacy, along with journalistic articles and other documentary sources, we aim to build a biographical narrative that will enable an understanding of his professional career, with later exposure of some of main ideas defended in his work. As he was devoted to the experimental work of Laboratory of the Colony of Psychopaths of Engenho de Dentro and to teaching activities, the concerns of the brazilian psychiatrist for the fundamentals of psychology grew, especially in regards to particularities of psychological phenomena. This philosophical position explains the direction that he sought to direct to psychology nationally. Campos defended the autonomy of the psychological object in relation to the natural sciences, but he understood that new discipline had no imminent need for curriculum emancipation, since it should be primarily as a theoretical foundation for professional practices. We hope, in this way, to be able to elucidate the way of understanding psychological science by an important psychiatrist of the 20th century, thus contributing to the construction of the memory of Brazilian psychology.

In this paper, we present and unfold an interview procedure that breaks with a position of exteriority in Psychology research interviews. Aiming to act on discourses that address madness as an individual and psychological fact and taking Robert Schumann's life and work as a broader field of reflection on the relationship between music and madness, we conducted interviews with six of his interpreters, in order to understand the crossing between these musicians' experiences, the author's work and the madness subject. In these interviews' procedures, which we named encounter-interviews, the extent of the experience is sheltered, highlighted and explored, making the intrinsic tragicness of the music-madness relationship operate in the encounter. In order to sustain the transgressive power of such a relationship, we created a narrative path specifically for this article, a strategy we use to prevent the research object from being captured in a field of unambiguous and representational determinations. Finally, we point out that the encounter-interviews, by composing polyphonic agreements between heterogeneous elements, highlight that in the interview procedure the way of knowing is inseparable from the experience in which the communication is constituted.

This paper identifies the presence of psychological and social suffering, and analyzes feelings and impacts derived from the unemployment situation in Corumbá, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. A cross-sectional research was carried out in 2017 and 2018 in Corumbá, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. The study included 200 short and long-term unemployed, who answered a sociodemographic questionnaire and the Psychosocial Suffering Scale of Unemployed Workers. With an average age of 33 years, 50.5% were married, 47.5% had high school and 50% were in severe unemployment. Of the 46.5% with income, only 10.5% were related to unemployment insurance, and 22.5% of the informal 60% did not receive payment. The main feelings and social events reported were sadness (77.5%), shame (76.5%), anxiety (71.0%), difficulty in making friendships (31.0%) and loss of social trust (27.5%). Although the joint analysis of the two factors pointed to suffering in only 7.5%, the association between psychological suffering and severe unemployment (p = 0.002) demonstrates the psychological vulnerability related to the precarious situation.

This paper refers to the thesis entitled Learning Styles and the Use of Information and Communication Technologies, defended in the Doctoral Program in Psychology of the Pontifical Catholic University of Campinas. Briefly, it presents the sequence of four studies developed in the thesis: (1) construction of an assessment instrument (scale) and search for evidence of validity based on content; (2) pilot study for scale computerization and computerized scale function test; (3) search for evidence of validity based on internal structure; and (4) comparison of the learning styles of business university students. The studies resulted in the development of an evaluation instrument and the proposition of a learning style model in technology use situations, composed by the theoretical, pragmatic, interaction with the medium and interaction through the medium styles.

This systematic review investigated the scientific production regarding the relationship between parenting practices and executive functions of children with typical development from zero to 13 years old. Searches were made on Google Scholar, PsycNET, PubMed and SciELO, considering articles published between 2008 and 2018, in Portuguese, English or Spanish. A total of 668 files were found and, after the screening, eligibility and selection steps, 37 papers were included. The general aspects of the selected articles and their results were analyzed. Most studies were conducted in the USA and in European countries, with children from zero to six years old. To assess the variables of interest, different methods were used, such as tasks, tests, scales and interviews. The investigated parenting practices were categorized into: a) general parenting constructs, b) stimulating parenting, c) affective parental care, and d) other parenting behaviors. The results of the articles indicated a relationship between different parenting practices and the executive functions of children, suggesting the influence of parenting on executive development during childhood. Orientations for future studies are presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This systematic review aimed to identify scientific publications about psychologist's performance in the socio-educational context, from 2007 to 2018. Searches were carried out in the LILACS, PEPSIC and SCIELO databases, by using the descriptors "psychology" or "intervention" combined with "adolescent in conflict with the law", "infractional act" or "socio-educative measure". 242 papers were accessed and their abstracts were read to identify those that approached the subject, remaining 22 articles for the final review. Through the thematic content analysis of the materials, we created four categories: 1) Psychology techniques applied to the demands of socio-education; 2) Listening as the main tool; 3) Working with groups and 4) Art and Sports as dimensions of interest for psychology. Considering the data that were analyzed, it is understood that the psychologist's performance must essentially contribute to build new possibilities in adolescent's lives, respecting their singularities and understanding the peculiarities of their stories. It was also possible to observe that the existence of barriers to the development of effective socio-educational practices calls on the psychologist to expand the repertoire of practices that were traditionally consolidated, which demands to create devices that make sense for these adolescents, considering their contexts and the history of their lives.

The aim of this paper is to present and discuss how the Lithuanian philosopher Aron Gurwitsch conceives the role of self-awareness and bodily self-awareness within his theory of the field of consciousness. At first, we present the dimensions of the field of consciousness highlighting the organizational principles that are at stake in the integration between the different structures of conscious experience. This contextualization allows us to understand the position occupied by self-awareness in what the philosopher calls the "margin" of consciousness, a domain of experience characterized by "irrelevance" or indifference in relation to the thematic presentation - of the object of attention. In a second step, we will focus on describing the self-awareness of the embodied dimension of existence, with the purpose of evaluating the criteria that allow Gurwitsch to qualify bodily self-awareness under the rubric of the concept of "irrelevance". In the end, we outline an alternative to Gurwitsch's position drawn from contemporary criticisms of phenomenology and cognitive sciences to the author's approach. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper presents results from a qualitative phenomenological research that aimed to understand the experience of professionals who care for women in situation of violence in a Social Assistance Specialized Reference Center (CREAS). After individual dialogical encounters with two psychologists and four social workers, the researcher wrote a comprehensive narrative and a synthesis narrative containing the following significant elements of the experience as a whole: (1) the participants realize that some professionals that are part of the women's care network repeat prejudiced attitudes that contribute to the patients' victimization; (2) the participants do not see themselves as protagonists in the institution's decision making, which leads to feelings of frustration and powerlessness; (3) they develop empathic attitudes and identify with the stories lived by the patients and (4) they seek to assist the women, they feel lonely because of the lack of effective action by the women's care network; still, they value their own work. There is a need for interdisciplinary studies that integrate information about the experience of professionals, patients and authors of violence, in institutions of the care network for women in situation of violence -- in order to help overcome the problems pointed out and improve public policies.

This paper problematizes the concept of freedom in the context of women in situations of violence, going beyond or even opposing the notion of freedom present within the scope of liberal ideology. Based on the author's experience as a psychologist in a public policy for women, this study tries to articulate the discussion about freedom with some aspects of the interventions and practices done by professionals, especially psychologists and social workers, with women, addressing some risks and challenges that go with this doing. The discussions indicate the possibility of thinking in other senses of freedom, crossed by tension, doubt, hesitation, uncertainty as well as by the relationship with the other, withdrawing the notion of freedom as an unlimited power to do. With regard to interventions carried out in public policies for women, it is concluded that gender violence requires decolonizing and rethinking hegemonic practices and models of intervention, especially those aimed at individuality.

This paper discusses the relationship of the researcher with the theme-field, undoing the overlap between field and geographical space, to reflect on the role of the use of field diaries in intervention research. From the enactive approach to cognition, we take the notion of affect as a modulating element of the researcher's attention, which is related to the research problem, producing records of everyday aspects and their implications in the diary, which come to be perceived as part of the research theme-field. We took as object of analysis field diaries written by researchers in a research that sought to follow learning processes with a digital location-based game. We conclude that the use of the field diary accompanies and participates in the production of the researcher's attention in their participation in the theme-field, so that the researcher's memories, habits and participation of everyday contexts also make up the research, taken as a political action that intervenes in reality.

The (multi)parentingis a recent legal claim in Family Law that allows the recognition of families which parenting is exercised simultaneously by several subjects, since it allows the inclusion of more than one father/mother on the birth certificate. This paper aims to understand what has been produced about (multi)parenting and problematize its judicial recognition in remarried families. As methodological resource, a bibliographic review on the topic was perfomed in the databases SciELO, Index-Psi, BSV-PSI, PePSIC, Portal Periódicos CAPES e Lilacs, as well as an analysis of jurisprudential material in the online platforms of the Brazilian courts. The results indicated absence of scientific publications in the scope of Brazilian Psychology on the theme of multiparenting. Therefore, it was decided to deepen in the descriptor parenting. It was found a variability in the definitions and, sometimes, the naturalization of the term in the absence of an explicit explanation of the authors' understanding. In the jurisprudential study, the fusion of conjugality and parenting was noted under the central argument of the socio-affective bond. It was also identified little participation of multidisciplinary teams in these processes. Therefore, it's evident the need to expand research involving the (multi) parenting issue from the perspective of Psychology. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper aims to highlight, trough the narrative of the polish writer Bruno Schulz, a possible operator for the link between psychoanalysis and literature: text (literary novel or a life narrated in analysis) as the result of the impossibility to represent real. The reading of Schulz with the guidelines from Freud's and Lacan's psychoanalytic theories let us examine what we have called "map of absences and obliterations" in the compilation of fifteen short stories The street of croocodiles. This map traces the lines of a territory in which is possible to highlight the reverberations of Freud's concept of strange, and enable us to reflect upon the effects of the reading Schulz's works.

Invasive procedures involving a needle are capable of causing pain and anxiety in children, as they imply an expectation of physical suffering and loss of control of the situation. The use of playful activities aims to minimize the effects of painful processes, constituting humanization strategies for the hospital context. This paper investigated the effects of the serious game "Hospital Mirim" as a strategy for coping with the invasive blood collection procedure. Forty children aged between six and 10 years participated, being 20 from the control group and 20 from the experimental group (intervention), randomly drawn. The instruments included: (a) Semi-structured interview, (b) "Hospital Mirim" digital game, (c) Pain scale and (d) Invasive procedure observation scale. The results showed that: (a) the control group in the postinvasive procedure stage presented a higher perception of pain level compared to the experimental group; (b) there was a significant difference in the groups between pain perception and behaviors presented during the procedure; (c) there was no difference between groups regarding behaviors during the invasive procedure. In general, the game was a facilitating instrument to cope with the blood collection in children, reducing the perception of pain. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Hypermodernity, with its cultural foundations based on individualism and consumer relations, led human beings to a complete exhaustion in face of the expectations of happiness to be obtained through the achievement of better performances in various aspects of existence and in material acquisitions. Since the individual is constantly exposed to the consequences of the hyperconsumption modus vivendi, that is, the transitory character of success that causes the feeling of failure, emotional sequelae can be observed that may unfold into contemporary psychopathological phenomena, some of which are highlighted in the article. The aim of this paper is to point out how the strength of the success imperative can intensify feelings such as humiliation, shame, and envy, as well as suggest Gestalt-therapy as an opportunity for liberation from the oppressive ideology of self-overcoming, because, through the dialogical encounter, it is an instrument for sustaining the dignity of the subject in the face of the disconfirmations to which he/she is constantly exposed.

The article proposes a discussion about the challenges of the Gestalt Therapy clinic in working with socially invisible populations, approaching, from its notion of contact boundary, the themes of alterity and recognition as constitutive of a clinical care action in this context. From interdisciplinary dialogues, especially with perspectives from the field of philosophy, the paper proposes a brief critical analysis of the contemporary situation, pointing to the relations between boundaries of rights, social and existential invisibility, and then proposing a clinical action based on an ethics of otherness and transformation that promotes a clinical work that happens in the frontier, in the encounter with those invisible populations and trying to show what affects them without showing itself. It presents the general outlines of a clinical work with youths who live in slums, calling into question the rights and place of the state so that recognition can be fully exercised and its dimension of empowering the agency realized. It concludes by considering the work with otherness and recognition as a form of care that allows rescuing the agency capacity from an expanded clinical action for the slum situation in its micro and macro political dimensions.

Given the historical association of hysteria with women and their relation to the feminine, many papers seek to understand the difficulty of this subjective position for women's sexuality. The present article promotes the urgency to discuss the implications of its incidence on men, anatomically speaking. Thus, this work aims to discuss the effects of the dynamics of hysteria for men, in its concerns to the sexual position assumption. For this, as it is a theoretical research, we will start with a screening of Freud's and Lacan's first period of teaching texts, looking for references of masculine hysteria and, mainly, considerations on cases of hysterical men. Subsequently, we will articulate the aspects highlighted by the authors, with which, in psychoanalytic theory, is presented as particular to the masculine position, such as the relation with the signifier phallus, with castration and symbolic identification, as well as its effects in the dynamics of the desire and fantasy.

This paper presents an analysis of testimonies taken from survivors of 2011 Vale do Cuiabá (Petrópolis, RJ) disaster, located at the highland region of Rio de Janeiro State, based on a psychosocial approach. Testimonies were collected seven years after the tragedy through individual and group interviews. They reveal that the disaster still goes on for those people. Among the results, it is evident that respondents perceived themselves as survivors and not as affected population or victims; the experience of abandonment remains with the absence of State; and the public policies model has shattered communitarian relationship, compromising interpersonal communication. It stands out that the disaster will endure while social suffering from affected people remains, and there is a necessity of developing a more comprehensive and qualified approach for the professionals who take action on disaster situations.

On this paper we analyse the recognition at work. It refers to an extract of a PhD thesis which field work was developed at Center of Reference Specialized of Social Assistance (CREAS) in Aracaju-SE, Brasil. The psychossociology is the theoretical and methodological reference that supports the proposition of groups organized amongst professionals on the field of three CREAS, such as social educators, psychologists and social workers. The psychossociology discusses conflicts and the various forms of malaise in these contexts, where a socio-clinical regard and intervention are made possible. On this text we discuss the fieldwork paying attention to its social function, and also considering it as a device that gives access, or not, to social recognition. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper aims to present an overview of Brazilian neuropsychology, focusing on the way the discipline was brought to Brazil, the present panorama of the discipline, and the challenges related to its consolidation. This article addresses the historical course of Neuropsychology, mapping the five distinct periods that characterized its history, as well as its national course. Brazilian neuropsychology is currently aided by the sophistication of neuroimaging techniques, the advancement in research and the interest in the area, as well as the creation of representative professional associations, the growing number of publications, research groups and graduate courses, the development of Brazilian instruments and the increase in standardization and validation of foreign instruments. Despite these advances, it is necessary to emphasize the need to make a Brazilian Neuropsychology, in tune with the challenges that come from a diverse country, one which contributes with public policies, produces knowledge that reaches different peoples and contributes towards reducing social inequalities.

The aim of this paper is to investigate possible contributions of philosopher Isabelle Stengers for the construction of the researchWITH, a way of doing psychology proposed by Moraes (2010). Based on the notions of subjectivity and meso-politics, affirmed by the Belgian philosopher, the paper indicates that a non- modern psychology becomes possible if we affirm the research device not as a modern arrangement, which separates subject and object, but as a practice that does not cease of assembling heterogeneous elements. Investing in meso - politics as ties politics, the paper states that the researchWITH is a meso - political practice. Do psychology researchWITH the other is a way to stage a non- modern psychology, that is, a psychology whose practices are off the classic separation between subject and object, researcher and researched . The article concludes with an example of an experimental body workshop with blind people inscribed in a visual rehabilitation institution for people with visual impairment insisting that research is becoming with the encounter with the other, spawning a denser world, which was not given beforehand, one unpredictable world, made by heterogeneous elements, disparate, human, non-human, cyborgs.

In this paper we analyze different relations between community intervention and Behaviorism questioning the thesis that there is an antagonistic relation between the latter and concerns with social transformation. Thus, this paper analyzes the possibilities for a dialogue between Behaviorism and Community Psychology. For this purpose, three types of papers were analyzed: criticisms of the conservatism of Behaviorism, reflections on community interventions from a behaviorist standpoint, reports of community interventions guided by Behaviorism. The relation Community Psychology-Behaviorism is discussed highlighting differences and similarities between the two fields. The main differences are related to the issues of participation and collaboration in the analyzed interventions. As for convergences, the theoretical discussions regarding the need of collaboration and participation and a concern with interventions beyond the immediate context are highlighted.

It is understood also that community psychology brings this debate in the 70s, promoting scientific and professional practice activities in contexts considered as peripheral. Initially, we will present community in its historical dimension, citing authors of classical sociology. Secondly, we will discuss about the inclusion of this concept in community social psychology and finally, we question forms of community present in contemporary times, taking Bauman and Castells, as references. It is expected to contribute to a non-unifying vision of social ties and that this study achieve professional practices to consider in relation subjectivity and objectivity, individuality and collectivity, one walk for an ethical-political perspective in psychology.

This paper discusses the relationship established by Freud between religion and happiness. To this end, we will use as primary reference the essay The malaise in culture, published in 1930. In this essay, from the question about the "oceanic feeling", as named by Romain Rolland, Freud insists the supposed happiness available to the believer is the result of a delirious submission process. In exchange for some relief from their suffering, the religious man remains in an eternal infantile position. As a possibility of overcoming such childish neurosis, Freud suggests a kind of "education to reality" in which we would learn to use our energies in this life, making the human society more bearable and consequently the regulations of the culture less oppressive. Finally we will address the religious bet as a resource of happiness. It comes from the believer's desires, as much as the science advocated by Freud. In this sense, we will discuss the plausibility of freudian proposal for education and also if the religion deserves to be rejected as it was by the father of psychoanalysis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Investigating this relationship may contribute with information about the individual characteristics that are most likely to provide care and those associated with risk factors. The objective of this article was to review the results of studies about parental personality and parenting. The search was performed in Capes Periódicos, PubMed and BVS-Psi databases with the keywords: "parenting" and "parental personality". Among the 137 studies found, 18 have met the inclusion criteria. It has been found only international papers and it was noted a trend to use the term "parental personality" was shown, without differentiating the aspects related to the father and the mother in the results. The predominant theoretical model was the Big Five Factor Model. The personality dimensions of extroversion and amability were related to warm and responsive parenting; neuroticism to stiffness or permissiveness; openness to experience to flexibility; and conscientiousness to the imposition of limits in education. It was concluded that the personality characteristics of fathers and mothers can have repercussions on different behaviors in relation to parenthood. It is recommended for future research the investigation of aspects related only to the father and the mother that differentiate the type of interaction parents-children with respect to the gender of the child.

This article aims to evaluate, through theoretical and scientific papers, the benefits that Animal Assisted Therapy (AAT) can provide to children who have some neurodevelopmental impairment. The benefits of human-animal contact has been known since antiquity, but studies around this area are starting to grow only currently. Therefore, we performed a critical review of the literature by analyzing the data collected using content analysis. The results showed the potential benefit of this type of intervention to children with social, cognitive and physical disabilities. The most commonly used animals were dogs and horses for treatment of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder, Down Syndrome and Intellectual Disabilities. Thus, there are possibility for psychologists and other professionals of health areas use or referee this kind of intervention to their patients. Still, we can conclude that there is a lack to more empirical studies using AAT. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The commercialization of stem cells found in umbilical cord blood is one of the facets of biopolitics in which life is marketed, managed and governed by a variety of Regenerative Medicine companies. Supported by theoretical and methodological Foucaultian and actor-network-theory contributions, this paper aims to discuss contemporary biopolitical strategies, which drive a capitalization market of life in the public and private banks of umbilical cord stem cells focused on Brazil. In these banks, body parts become a source of capital, which attach themselves to a heterogeneous network of biotechnological devices that mobilize subjectivities, articulating political affectivities. The use of biotechnologies aimed at manipulating the umbilical cord stem cells enable subjectivities modes configured as entrepreneurial, which claim for themselves the care of their health and the optimization of vitality.

This paper investigates the contemporary motherhood in a plural dimension permeated by all sorts of expectations, ambivalences, contradictions and requirements. The research was guided by an ontology of the present perspective. Transformations in the number of children, professional experience, technological advances and family arrangements are examples of what has made it possible for motherhood and fatherhood to be expressed in various modes of existence. This context of profound transformation occurs within the normative, discursive and traditional logic which also governs contemporary motherhood. Given this scenario, the present study asked women from different profiles how they see themselves and how they feel about the experience of being (or not being) mother. The methodological approach was based on a qualitative field research, carried out through semi-structured interviews with six women, five mothers, and one determined not to be. Data analysis had was carried on through thematic content analysis. This study made it possible to investigate the diversified ways through which women face contemporary motherhood and its various modes of existence, outlining dynamic subjectivation processes confronting the constraints, expectations and discourses that go along with being a mother.

This paper proposes a dialogue between two empirical studies, and it discusses the place and affection concepts in order to understand the relations person-city, under the Environmental Psychology. The first study investigated how cyclists are affected by urban environment and how they appropriate it during daily commutes, and the second study sought to understand the relationship that the inhabitants of a city have with the central square. Both studies are anchored in the concept of affectivity in the city as an analysis category. It understands as the people actiontransformation engine in relation to the surrounding physical partner. Although they have been performed in different contexts, the researches used a semi-structured interview as data production technique. The participants' speeches were fully transcribed and they were subjected to content analysis. This research selected the narrative fragments that could underpin the affectivity discussion in the city and the creation of places. By establishing dialogue between both investigations it can be considered if the place is established by and in the biographies that are built in the living space, it does not imply necessarily paused or rooting, but it is referred the ways how people affect and connect to the surroundings.
