Master Thesis Psicologia, socioeducação e racismo: uma análise da atuação da profissional psicóloga nas medidas socioeducativas de meio aberto(Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, 2023-12-05) Silva, Natália Campos da; Paiva, Ilana Lemos de; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3331-2890; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1588515627010993; Farias, Tadeu Mattos; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1403676057443123; Santos, Luana Isabelle Cabral dos; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2343504076877116Racism is a social phenomenon of great impact, characterized by the Federal Council of Psychology – CFP (2017) as a broad, complex, systemic, and violent ideology that permeates cultural, political, economic, ethical, and subjective aspects of people’s lives. This research focuses on structural racism, exploring the role of psychologists in institutions within the socioeducational system. Although we can identify a growing contribution of Psychology to the issue of racial relations, such contributions are still scarcely disseminated in professional practice, making this study an important update in this field of knowledge and practice. The general objective was to analyze the role of psychologists in addressing racism within the openenvironment socio-educational system in Natal/RN. The specific objectives include (1) identifying theoretical and technical frameworks, (2) analyzing perspectives on structural racism, and (3) understanding contributions to both the reproduction and confrontation of racism. A qualitative approach was adopted, based on action-research methodology, with Historical and Dialectical Materialism as its theoretical foundation. The study was conducted at a Specialized Reference Center for Social Assistance – CREAS, in the city of Natal/RN. Data collection involved participant observation, field journals, analysis of informational and multidisciplinary reports, as well as Freirean culture circles with the four psychologists who make up the Socio-Educational Measures (MSE) teams. Data analysis led to the identification of two main nuclei of meaning: (1) Racism, socioeconomic vulnerability, and absence of the State, and (2) Racism, organized crime, and the context of violence. These nuclei were formed based on indicators and pre-indicators collected during the culture circles. The results reveal the complexity of the challenges faced by psychologists in the Brazilian socio-educational system. The research participants acknowledge the presence of structural racism in their daily work, emphasizing the need for socially engaged interventions to combat it and to promote more effective actions within the context of socio-educational measures. These findings highlight the importance of continuous and comprehensive training to improve knowledge and practice in this field.Doctoral Thesis Pensando a psicologia por feiras livres brasileiras(Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, 2024-12-02) Guimarães, Marina Luiza Pereira; Pereira, Maria Teresa Lisboa Nobre; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5085-4296; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1234091318043836; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5594987117009142; Amorim, Ana Karenina de Melo Arraes; Lemos, Flávia Cristina Silveira; Maheirie, Katia; Barros, Maria Elizabeth Barros deThis thesis focuses on Brazilian open-air markets as a public space, social setting and field of knowledge production, to consider the psychologies that can be perceived and practiced at open-air markets based on some of their daily practices and the “psycho” discourses about them. In addition, it also problematizes what is put into operation when psychology encounters openair markets, gathering some effects of the knowledge-power mechanisms that have impacted open-air markets, cities and subjectivities. For that, a composition between Foucaultian archaeology and genealogy was undertaken, based on two movements: (I) a review of the production on open-air markets in human sciences and psychology, in order to map the discursivities that emerge about open-air markets and to follow the urban interventions that have historically been directed to open-air markets; (II) experimentation at Feira do Alecrim, in Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, and at Feira do Produtor Rural, in Boa Vista, Roraima, with an ethnographic stage. The ramifications of the analyses occur in three axes: (I) imbrication and interdependence between open-air markets and cities, mainly in the practices of Brazilian colonization; (II) perpetuation of precariousness condition, based on the concept of Judith Butler, and the violations of the lives of those who make and live at Brazilian open-air markets: women, workers, childhoods, xenophobia and racism; and (III) open-air markets as practices of resistance and invention of life, considering their sociability, sustainability and confrontation of neoliberalism and indifference to the world. Finally, in what is discussed about Brazilian open-air markets and adhering to an institutionalist perspective, their relevance and pertinence in contemporary cities are highlighted, in addition to divert the present of psychology.Doctoral Thesis A vivência do teletrabalho para teletrabalhadores de uma instituição pública do RN(Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, 2024-03-04) Pinheiro, Rafaele de Araújo; Lima, Fellipe Coelho; Lima, Fellipe Coelho; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7763-4050; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5116689205242979; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7763-4050; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5116689205242979; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6081431102788676; Oliveira, Fábio de; Sanson, César; Santos, Livia Gomes dos; Torres, Tatiana de LucenaTeleworking is a type of remote work, mediated by the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs), which has been gaining ground in the Brazilian workplace and around the world. The social isolation measures needed to contain the new coronavirus pandemic have further boosted adherence to this modality, which has been expanding since the 90s. Although progress has been made towards identifying the advantages and disadvantages of the modality, there are still many questions that help to understand the materiality of the modality and its subjective repercussions on teleworkers, especially when thinking about telework as a phenomenon that emerges and expands under neoliberalism. In this sense, the aim of this work is to analyze how the discourses and practices of constructing a neoliberal subject are refracted in the experience of teleworkers. To do this, we adopted the perspective of Cultural-Historical Psychology as our research approach, seeking to understand the dialectic of the constitution of the phenomenon of teleworking in the particular and universal conditions in which they are inserted. As a methodological approach, we carried out a study in two sectors of a public judicial institution, with semi-structured, in-depth interviews with 14 civil servants. The analysis of the interviews followed the methodology of the nuclei of dramatic coalitions developed in this study, allowing us to explore the different meanings, dramas and contradictions associated with the experience of teleworking. The results point to different solutions to the dramas experienced between 1) being productive and enjoying the flexibility of teleworking; 2) being a teleworker and playing family roles and 3) working in isolation or socializing with colleagues. The conclusions show that teleworking is a contradictory activity which, although it meets with approval due to its flexibility, requires workers to make important adaptations in order to maintain it. Neoliberal rationality finds adherence especially in discourses that emphasize productivity, self-monitoring and self-surveillance. One point of resistance to this rationality is the family as a dimension of identity.Master Thesis Produção científica de psicologia em interface com o marxismo: uma análise a partir do caso brasileiro(Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, 2024-03-08) Guimarães, Cecília Tavares; Oliveira, Isabel Maria Farias Fernandes de; Costa, Ana Ludmila Freire; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0208-0756; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0459737926868927; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6077243255728600; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3289280201277036; Seixas, Pablo de Sousa; Lacerda Júnior, FernandoSince 1970, in Brazil, the socio-economic and political situation challenge Psychology to evaluate its audience, references, areas of operation, and the social value of the profession: the context triggers the so-called “Crisis of relevance”. The theoretical effort to respond to the crises culminates in the productions that later make up the list of Critical Psychologies (Lacerda, 2013). Marxism emerges from this block as an influence on some of these perspectives. The Marxist perspective is considered here as the theoretical-methodological field that can contribute to a truly transformative Psychology, as its ultimate goal is human emancipation. Given what has been exposed, we are interested in investigate what possibilities arise from the relationship of Marxism with Psychology, problematizing how this relationship occurs in Brazil, based on the scientific production of the area. Thus, the questions that move the research are: What are the possible relationships between Psychology and Marxism in the Brazilian scientific context? What is the demand or justification for this type of scientific production? What do the authors seek to achieve by adopting such articulations? As a result of this effort, the objective was to generate a map of Brazilian scientific production in Psychology from the perspective of Marxism. 124 articles were collected, categorized in an electronic database, and analyzed in two blocks: scientometric and thematic. It was identified that the productions come mainly from public universities in the Southeast of the country; published in journals with high Qualis evaluation; it was found that most are theoretical studies; they are articles linked to various areas of Psychology, but mainly to Educational Psychology. In the studies, the apprehension of fundamental categories of Marx was observed, albeit in a residual form. In the relationship of Marxism with Psychology, indirectly, it is possible to see this articulation through authors or perspectives of the area, such as Vigotski and Historical-Cultural Psychology, these being a synonym for Psychology of what would be Marxism. Furthermore, Marxism also appears overlapped with other theoretical perspectives that have any less dialogue with it, denoting that the work is not based on Marxism, although concepts of the tradition are present. In summary, different modalities of articulation are put forward for Psychology and Marxism, with no prevalence of how the area appropriates the reference. The articulation takes place as a foundation for a Psychology of Marxist inspiration, as a critique of Psychology, and as a complement to psychological analyses (Calviño, 2013). It is considered indispensable that the approach to the reference evokes reflections for Psychology, to question the individualization and psychologization of structural phenomena and reinforce the perception of its role as a working class and agent of change.Doctoral Thesis Análise clínica da atividade em atendimento psicológico individual(Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, 2023-03-01) Andrade, Juliana Moreira da Silva; Falcão, Jorge Tarcisio da Rocha; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2798-3727; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9066230660650393; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0595-2364; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8823940173581366; Clot, Yves; Silva, Claudia Osório da; Fontes, Flavio Fernandes; http://orcid.org/0000-0003-2036-8147; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8130512015006435; Lima, Maria Elizabeth AntunesWorking activity greatly affects the mental health of people around the world. Paradoxically, there are important gaps and inconsistencies in theories and practices in the field of mental health and work, especially criticisms of psychological and individualistic approaches in interventions in the individual frame. Starting from a psychology of clinical and historical-developmental work, we aimed to define a theoretical-methodological possibility of clinical analysis of the activity, which contributes as a theoretical-technical support in the production of individual psychological care devices to the worker, articulating health development and development of the work itself. Considering the clinical methodology in activity analysis, we performed: a) analysis of a clinical experience, based on Activity Clinic, of individual psychological care with work demands; b) production and analysis of dialogues between psychologists about their practices in health and work; c) integration of results; d) preparation of the methodological proposal. The results indicated several contexts, determinants and configurations that circumscribe individual practices in psychology with work demands; pointed out as the main challenge of practices, overcoming isolation, blaming and victimizing workers with problems or sick endos by work; confirmed the theoretical-technical gaps in psychology; pointed out the approaches closer to theorizations about work as an activity and the practice of its analysis, such as those that most contributed to the health of the people attended. We conclude with the presentation of principles, processes, conceptual schemes and operational guiding, involved in the psychological (and social) function of work, configuring them in a clinical-developmental proposal that relates the development of the activity itself to the development of health, as well as ways of acting by, with and for the social (collective) via activity.Doctoral Thesis Saberes e fazeres de uma psicologia que cuida do morrer em cuidados paliativos(Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, 2022-08-29) Mendonça, Anna Valeska Procópio de Moura; Silva, Georgia Sibele Nogueira da; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1062059652170019; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4682037650581302; Gomes, Annatalia Meneses de Amorim; Bosco Filho, João; Oliveira, Luciana Carla Barbosa de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9664507110577422; Bezerra, Marlos AlvesPalliative Care (PC) is configured as an approach that improves the quality of life of patients and their families, in their physical, psychosocial, and spiritual aspects, in the process of severe illness and suffering. The psychologist, a member of this care team, is a necessary professional for the emotional support that this experience awakens, either during the illness or in the proximity of death. It is known that the theme of death, present in the context of PC, still triggers many challenges. We ask ourselves: How does one build an itinerary in the training for the know-how of Psychology in PC, especially in dealing with the dying process? To reach such inquiry, we had as the general objective of our study: To understand the process of construction of the know-how of the psychologist who acts in Palliative Care in a special facing terminality. As specific objectives: (a) To investigate what is the preparation of psychologists for the practice of care in the process of terminality in Palliative Care (PC); (b) To know the meaning of death for psychologists who act in PC; (c) To identify the feelings experienced by psychologists in caring for people in the process of death in PC and after death; (d) To know which resources/strategies are used by psychologists to deal with their own emotions in the process of death and possible bereavement; (e) To investigate how psychologists approach the spirituality/religiousness of the people they care for in the face of death in PC; (f) To identify difficulties/challenges/potentialities for the performance of care in the face of death in PC; (g) To identify the role attributed by psychologists in caring for the process of death in PC. A survey was carried out with 12 psychologists from the following regions of Brazil: North, Northeast, South, Southeast, and Center-West who work in PC. The methodological strategies used were a narrative interview with projective scenes and a field diary. The analysis and interpretation of the narratives were supported by Gadamerian hermeneutic principles. The thesis presents a theoretical chapter: "Palliative Care: the history and availability of care" that deals with the development of PC in the world, pointing out landmarks for the Brazilian scenario, as well as its principles and philosophy; and Psychology in this field of actuation. Following are the chapters that dialogue with the narratives of collaborators: "Preparation" to deal with death in Palliative Care: portrays the presence of gaps in the formation regarding death, dying and PC, as well as the search for more knowledge; the collaborators, consider the patients as masters in the art of teaching and emphasize the necessary affective disposition to care at the end; "When the patient dies: meanings and emotional experiences of psychologists in this care": the personal meanings of death speak of death as an end, in addition to signifying learning and transformations. The emotional experiences translated by the pain of mourning, feelings of impotence, and fears, coexist with the privilege of gratitude for having cared until the end; "Resources and strategies that support the practice of psychologists at the end of life": Personal spirituality and love for the job emerge as important resources; a time for self-care, taking care of health with meditation, music, exercises, rest and moments with the family, as well as the search for psychotherapies, and the moments of team care and supervisions are also resources that support; "Caring in the process of death in PC: difficulties, support and the ways of knowing how to do psychology": difficulty when there is not an exclusive team; dealing with death with pain and suffering; communication with the family. The understanding of caring at the end as a sacred space of action supports their practice of psychologists at the end of life": Personal spirituality and love for the job emerge as important resources; a time for self-care, taking care of health with meditation, music, exercises, rest and moments with the family, as well as the search for psychotherapies, and the moments of team care and supervisions are also resources that support; "Caring in the process of death in PC: difficulties, support and the ways of knowing how to do psychology": difficulty when there is not an exclusive team; dealing with death with pain and suffering; communication with the family. The understanding of caring at the end as a sacred space of action supports their practice in face of the desired roles to care in the proximity of death: knowing how to listen; having respect for the patient's finitude and choices; facilitating farewells and re-significations; promoting autonomy and dignity; alleviating spiritual and emotional suffering of patients and family members. To do so, they need to search for spirituality and face their own mortality. Possible paths for the construction of Psychology's knowledge in the face of death in PC are herein announced.Doctoral Thesis Adaptação transcultural para o português do Patient Dignity Inventory no contexto do nordeste brasileiro(Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, 2022-06-30) Cavalcanti, Alessandra do Nascimento; Maia, Eulalia Maria Chaves; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0354-7074; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2021670670663453; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2246279574572617; Bezerra, Marlos Alves; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4923847817582059; Oliveira, Maria Aurelina Machado de; Martins, Remerson Russel; Maia, Rodrigo da SilvaIntroduction: Dignity has been a concept studied when researching patients in situations of prolonged or potentially serious illness. Thus, the Patient Dignity Inventory (PDI) was constructed to provide a measure of dignity-related suffering and serves as a screening tool to assess a wide range of reported issues that influence a sense of dignity. Objective: To carry out a cross-cultural adaptation of the Patient Dignity Inventory (PDI) instrument from English to Brazilian Portuguese. Method: Research of quantitative, transversal, and analytical methodological design. Conceptual, item, semantic, operational and measurement equivalence were performed between the original and the adapted instrument. In addition, the psychometric properties of the instrument in the new contextual reality were verified. Results: There were 125 adult cancer patients, mostly women (78.4%), over 45 years old (54.4%), at Onofre Lopes University Hospital (29.6%) and at Liga contra o Cancer (70.4%). Information was collected through a sociodemographic questionnaire, the Patient Dignity Inventory – PDI and the WHOQOL-Bref quality of life instrument. Descriptive and comparative analyzes were performed for all variables, with a significance level of 5%. To verify the aspects of construct validity, exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were performed, presenting a correlation matrix of 5 factors, in relation to the reliability of the general score of the inventory, it presented Cronbach's Alpha of 0.93. Criterion and convergent validities were also verified through Pearson and MANOVA correlations, respectively. In the analysis process, it was also identified that through the verification of conceptual, item and semantic equivalences, a synthesis version of the PDI was produced. Regarding the operational and measurement equivalences, a final synthesis version was prepared and the version that was duly validated for the Brazilian context. Conclusion: The instrument presented satisfactory values of internal consistency, as well as criterion and construct validity, fulfilling the objective that was proposed. In this way, it is configured as a screening instrument for aspects that refer to the dignity of cancer patients in an outpatient and hospital environment in the reality of Brazil.Doctoral Thesis A produção científica da Psicologia sobre os contextos rurais na América Latina(Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, 2022-02-23) Freire, Kátya de Brito e Silva; Leite, Jader Ferreira; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6045-531X; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0115447283248209; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8471855780181681; Diniz, Raquel Farias; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1787447588845163; Ferreira, Clarice Regina Catelan; Landini, Fernando Pablo; Macedo, João Paulo SalesRural contexts constitute a new field of research in Latin American psychology. Thus, some challenges have permeated this approach, highlighting the theoretical gaps regarding the rural category. Therefore, the objective was to investigate how the scientific production of Psychology has been approaching rural contexts in Latin America, through an integrative literature review. Scientific articles were analyzed in the form of empirical studies on the subject written by Latin American psychologists. The searches were carried using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyzes (PRISMA), using the term “Psychology” and the Boolean descriptor and for the terms, “rural area” and “rural population”, in Portuguese, English and Spanish, and in the following databases: PubMed, PsycINFO, Redalyc, Scielo, PEPSI and LILACS, which resulted in 89 articles. The main results demonstrate that the scientific production of Psychology in Latin America on rural contexts is recent and is still concentrated within some countries. In addition, there was a predominance of terms and expressions that define rural by the physical-geographical sense. It is noteworthy that there are few reflections on the rural category, with Social being the area that produce the most on the theme and reflect on this category. Despite some gaps, there was still an effort by Psychology to present the specificities of rural contexts, which can open an important space for analysis, discussion and proposition of contextualized practices. It is concluded that, so that Psychology can contribute effectively in the field of rural contexts, it is urgent to problematize the theoretical aspects about rural, understanding that it is a category of theoretical reflection and not just a place where research is carried out. It is necessary for Psychology to position itself clearly and show where and how it can contribute to the understanding and transformation of rural Latin American contexts.Doctoral Thesis Ciência e gênero: o cotidiano de mulheres pesquisadoras em Psicologia(Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, 2021-12-17) Cunha, Rocelly Dayane Teotonio da; Dimenstein, Magda Diniz Bezerra; Dantas, Candida Maria Bezerra; 03159395405; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8181024208435709; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9681334300604531; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3692864558732600; Costa, Maria da Graça Silveira Gomes da; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3303012346893524; Barros, João Paulo Pereira; Zamora, Maria Helena; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6425497242419672; Toneli, Maria Juracy; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1437430258647523This research focuses on the relationship between science and gender, focusing on the impacts of scientific excellence requirements on the daily lives of PQ scholarship holders in Brazilian Psychology. A multi-method approach established in three stages was adopted: analysis of public domain data; application of an electronic form and conducting semi-structured interviews. These steps resulted in five studies, whose findings show that: a) in Psychology, women occupy proportionally fewer positions at the top of the career; b) the profile of the PQ scholarship holder in the area is white, cis, middle class, married, heterosexual and from the Southeast of the country and the main problems they face are related to the scenario of internal dispute and competition that has been intensifying in the context of S&T in the country and the current configuration of academic work marked by the overload of activities and functions, generating feelings of satisfaction and discouragement; c) these conditions produce impacts on the researchers' daily lives, which, added to the domestic, family and marital demands, require the invention of multiple conciliation strategies; d) e, are associated with the expansion of vulnerability to psychological distress and other health problems; e) despite this, the adherence of PQ Psychology fellows to the hegemonic individualizing rationality, hinders the understanding that, in the current neoliberal and pandemic scenario, being a federal teacher and researcher PQ/CNPq does not necessarily guarantee a prominent place in society or the guarantee of privileges, since they are workers subjected to increasingly increased levels of exploitation and precariousness. However, the discomfort experienced since the outbreak of this reality has caused cracks in the conceptions that naturalize the disparities between men and women and between the different women. We conclude that the researchers face a tensioning of forces that reposition their subjective place towards the questioning of inequalities of gender, class and race in Psychology.Master Thesis Questão social: os governos petistas e a proteção social no capitalismo contemporâneo(Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, 2021-12-13) Costa, Victor César Amorim; Oliveira, Isabel Maria Farias Fernandes de; Seixas, Pablo de Sousa; 0000-0002-7718-064X; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8279860104369694; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6077243255728600; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9952461617251754; Lacerda Júnior, Fernando; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0864307656064852; Wellen, Henrique André Ramos; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0608444866355465From the beginning, this research was driven by the search for the apprehension of tendencies in terms of treatment of the social issue in PT governments, taken as a way of investigating the structural possibilities of social protection in a capitalism dependent on the Southern Cone. of ephemeral growth and having the country plunged into consecutive crises after June 2013. The parliamentary coup of 2016 put an end to a 12-year trajectory of PT governments, which started in a completely different way. In this context, our general effort turned to the analysis of how the social question was treated in Brazil, focusing on PT governments. In this trajectory, we carried out a somewhat hybrid review, inspired by elements of systematic review, but not fiercely attached to it. In total, eight works were selected after consecutive stages of filtering the results obtained. Finally, the results of the review indicate a consensus around the deepening of neoliberalism, in the sense of ordering social protection based on the logic of the market. Privatization remains firm and strong as a gradual process, sometimes more intense, sometimes slower against anything that remains public. The commodity boom and the effects of its decline, especially the “late” repercussions of the 2008 crisis, were fundamental elements in the possibilities of managing the permanent counter-reform. The capture of the Public Fund for servicing the public debt, the maintenance of the neoliberal macroeconomic tripod and the untouchable nature of the Fiscal Responsibility Law, the latter used to overthrow Dilma, denounce the undemocratic character of our dependent democracy. Finally, we explore some scenarios and trends against social protection in Brazilian dependent capitalism.
