Abstract

The world transformations undergone in recent decades, which culminated in the labour current scenery, resulted from the production's crisis and from the capitalist accumulation way, determine the labour market conditions. At this globalization of capital context, there is a decreased of incentive to public policy in the social psychiatry and occupational medicine fields. Thus, the numbers of the World Health Organization (WHO) and International Labour Organization (ILO), concerning to diseases and work deaths, have increased. Indeed, it's possible to affirm that people are getting sick and dying from work. The work process of the public servants of higher education federal institutions has been suffered with this neoliberal capitalist premise introduced in the Brazilian federal public service. The main objective of this thesis is to analyze and describe the impact of UFG's (Federal University of Goiás, in Brazil) organization of work on their servant health, which are attended by 'Saudavelmente' (SDM) program. The specific objectives of the present study are: (i) present the research studies into Psychodynamics of Work (PDW), from the 2004- 2014 period, available to the academic community at Higher Education Personnel Improvement Coordination – CAPES (Brazilian Ministry of Education/MEC) portal; (ii) analyze and present how a particular group of public service workers, with different situations in the organization of work, organize themselves to solve the suffering arising from work, and (iii) present the organization of work impact on workers' health, which process can take them to suicidal ideation and suicide attempts.The theoretical-methodology approach was the PDW and Clinic of Work idealized by the french professor Cristophe Dejours. Two studies were developed: study I – documents analysis (‘Saudavelmente’ documents) and study II – collective discussion between the volunteer participants servants by a pair of clinical researchers. Eight sessions, with six administrative servant, were made. Each meeting lasted two hours. The data analysis results were interpreted according to dejourian methodology, and were identified, as results in the study I, the following issues: psychiatric diagnosis; behavioral psychiatric complaints; clinical diagnosis. The cases diagnosed by psychologists and psychiatrists ocurred according to DSM IV and ICD 10, mood disorders; reactive disorders; chemical dependency; anxiety disorders and other psychiatric diagnoses. In study II the data revealed that: the organization of work interferes with servant performance, causing suffering and pleasure; work is excessive; tasks are accomplished under pressure; roughness in rules compliance and the staff is not sufficient for the demand for labor. This process established defensive and confront strategies, transforming the server's psychic functioning and changing their forms of existence, incorporating not only at work, but also in private and family life. The suffering trivialization and denial were revealed by defense strategies and also individual face strategies, mobilized in front of the fear and physical and psychological integrity's threat in the context of social relations of domination. There were suicidal ideations and suicide attempts.
