This study aimed to investigate the main experiences of suffering experienced by the unemployed and the forms they use to minimize them. This theme is justified by the need to understand the social changes of unemployment arising from the capitalist system. To this, interviews were conducted with eight persons who experience the condition of not working for five months on average. Data analysis was performed by the Clinical Analysis of Work. It was found that participants experience more pathogenic suffering instead of creative suffering, and those is related to the devaluation, useless and unproductiveness. To minimize the pain, the participants seek to accomplish a lot of activities, denying their suffering. It is suggested the realization of other strategies of data collection.

Palabras clave : Psychic suffering; defensive strategies; unemployed.
