CAMBUI, Heloisa Aguetoni  e  NEME, Carmen Maria Bueno. The contemporary psychic suffering in the collective imaginary of Psychology students. Psicol. teor. prat. [online]. 2014, vol.16, n.2, pp.75-88. ISSN 1516-3687.

Profound socio‑cultural transformations that the world has undergone have been followed by new subjective configurations and manifestations of psychic suffering, whose impact and resonance in the psychology clinic, demand especial understanding and management. The aim of this study was to investigate the collective imaginary of Psychology students about contemporary psychic suffering. In the light of the psychoanalytic method, this research utilized the procedure of drawings‑stories with theme in group interview. The set of productions of the drawings‑stories, based on the psychoanalytic narratives written after each group interview, was interpretatively analyzed and allowed the apprehension of the following fields of affective‑emotional meaning: “Loneliness”, “Essays on suffering”, “Agony of non‑being”, “Human contact with suffering”, “Avoidance: the great defense”, “Non lived lives”, “Human despair” and “Multifacetated suffering”. The set of analyses allowed the understanding of a collective imaginary in which suffering, that occurs nowadays, consists mainly of feelings of loneliness, forsaking, uselessness, spuriousness and existential void.
