Pleasure and Suffering in the work of the reference center specialized in social assistance (CREAS)

Subjective mobilization covers the affective sphere, cognitive sphere and also the body that promotes experiences of pleasure and suffering. In an attempt to fill the distance between the prescribed and the real, the workers build practical knowledge, developed in the exercise of the activity. This article discusses the experiences of pleasure and suffering of a group of CREAS/SUAS workers in the interior of Goiás, based on the psychodynamic clinical analysis of the work, according to the conditions of organized work. Sixty-six clinical sessions were held with 09 workers. The results indicate greater experiences of suffering, by workers who contemplated the feeling of insecurity in relation to work and psychosocial risk events. The lack of recognition for professional effort and the lack of appreciation for performance are usually causes of the suffering of workers. It is concluded that the organization of work makes it impossible for the worker's creative process to avoid the biases of the policies that implement and precarious working conditions. The constitution of the collective discussion space favored the experiences of pleasure and allowed the resignification of the meaning of work for the participating workers, as proposed by the methodology of this study.
