Abstract

FANIZZI, Caroline  and  LAJONQUIERE, Leandro de. Medicalizing discourse and education: the subject at an impasse. Estilos clin. [online]. 2020, vol.25, n.1, pp.105-122. ISSN 1415-7128.  https://doi.org/10.11606/issn.1981-1624.v25i1p105-122.

This article aims to present a reflection, from a dialogue with psychoanalysis in education, about the implications of the presence of medicalizing discourse in the school space. The medicalizing discourse, often spoken fluently by those concerned with education, brings with it numerous consequences to the educational bond, as well as to the subjects involved in it. For the analysis intended here, we use speeches by teachers from public and private schools, about the impacts of the presence of medicalizing discourse on teaching practice and daily school life. Pathologization of childhood behaviors, epidemics of diagnoses, construction of normality and abnormality patterns, increasing use of psychotropic drugs, as well as the decrease in teaching authority and involvement with the educational act, are some of the main aspects identified in our study.

Keywords : (psycho)pedagogical illusion; medicalizing discourse; reports; psychoanalysis in education.
