ROCHA, Sandra Regina Ayres; MENDES, Ana Magnólia  and  MORRONE, Carla Faria. Suffering, muscolosketal disorders and depression at work context: psychodynamic approach. Estud. pesqui. psicol. [online]. 2012, vol.12, n.2, pp. 379-394. ISSN 1808-4281.

The paper has as objective to articulate theoretically the interrelations between suffering, muscolosketal disorders and depression at the work context. It privileges the approach of psychodynamic of work to interpret the interrelations. It proposes as explanation, to understand muscolosketal disorders and depression, the dynamics that it involves the pleasure-suffering existences at the work. The pleasure assumes an essential character for psychic structuring for allowing the construction of the identity. The suffering is generated at the adversities of work conditions, organization and social relationships especially it is happening when the recognition of the effort and the own pleasure as affective investment at the work is denied. It explains the process of health-illness as a result of the inherent contradictions to the production context. It contributes to show that the suffering is not something pathological and to clarify the depression as an occupational disease.
