GOMEZ, Milânia  y  KLAUTAU, Perla. Burnout in education: Precarization and its repercussions on the health of public school teachers. Psicol. clin. [online]. 2021, vol.33, n.3, pp.429-447. ISSN 0103-5665.  https://doi.org/10.33208/PC1980-5438v0033n03A02.

Upon considering the increase in sick leave and dismissal requests in the public school system of Rio de Janeiro state, it was possible to formulate the hypothesis that, in many cases, the precariousness and the devaluation of the teachers' work impact the teaching and the teachers themselves. In a psychoanalytic perspective, this paper discusses the state of helplessness that, when it becomes traumatic, directly impact on the teachers' health, aggravating with the incidence of professional exhaustion in the education field. This situation generates psychic suffering and interferes directly in the process of teaching and learning, as well as causing a financial drain for public funds. Such a situation, which generates malaise and psychic suffering, also interferes in the teaching-learning process. In view of the above, we inquire how it is possible to understand the specificities of teaching suffering - its nature, its genesis and its impacts on the subjective experience of these professionals.

Palabras clave : education; burnout; helplessness; psychoanalysis; precarization.
