Title: O Borderline como patologia do social: psicanálise, psiquiatria e neoliberalismo Abstract: This study investigates the relationship between borderline personality disorder and neoliberal social organization, drawing on the concept of social pathology. To this end, we employ the psychoanalytic research method, conducting the study from a non-dogmatic perspective, without claiming to construct a totalizing body of knowledge. We begin by examining the diagnostic category of borderline in psychoanalysis and psychiatry, highlighting the significant role this category played in the transformations of these fields during the 1970s. The shift resulting from this crisis in psychiatry led to a new way of interpreting suffering and marked the convergence of this field with neoliberalism, which was taking hold during the same period. We define neoliberalism as the political construction of society according to the market model. One of the main changes promoted by neoliberalism is a new conception of freedom in opposition to equality. This change places alterity in a position of danger to be rejected. Borderline corresponds to this mode of functioning but does not fit the new way of interpreting suffering in neoliberal psychiatry. Drawing on Freud and André Green, we argue that psychoanalysis offers an interpretation of borderline by questioning the limits of the psyche, the structure of the ego, and the relationship with alterity (both internal and external). Finally, we contend that contemporary psychoanalytic practice reinforces the commitment of psychoanalysis to the clinical potential of alterity, thereby positioning itself as a practice of resistance to neoliberalism.

Title: Just Therapy: uma revisão narrativa da literatura Abstract: Just Therapy is a therapeutic practice developed in New Zealand that articulates cultural and political sensitivity, while challenging individualistic and culturally neutral models of practice. Grounded in a critical perspective, it understands human suffering in its relation to social, cultural, political, and spiritual factors, proposing culturally responsive interventions committed to equity and the valuing of community knowledge. The objective of this article is to characterize Just Therapy, addressing its historical trajectory, principles, clinical practices, community development strategies, and work with gender and culture. Finally, it discusses the potential application of Just Therapy in the Brazilian context, especially for the development of more contextualized and socially committed mental health practices.

Title: Diagnóstico de clima organizacional em uma cooperativa financeira: convergências e tensões entre o Trust Index® e a literatura científica Abstract: This study analyzes the extent to which the organizational climate results obtained through the Great Place to Work® (GPTW) Trust Index® in a financial cooperative converge with the concepts and dimensions discussed in the scientific literature on organizational climate. Using a case study design with data from 185 employees, global and dimensional indicators were examined and compared with classical and contemporary theoretical models. Findings revealed high levels of organizational climate across all assessed dimensions: credibility, respect, fairness, pride, and camaraderie, indicating broadly positive employee perceptions. The comparative analysis showed that, although there is substantial convergence between the content of GPTW dimensions and scholarly literature, the instrument’s operationalization tends to approximate climate assessment to measures of satisfaction and engagement, thus reducing the multidimensional complexity of the construct. It is concluded that the Trust Index® provides relevant indicators but requires critical interpretation aligned with theoretical definitions of climate, especially in contexts that demand analytic rigor. The study also identifies methodological gaps and proposes directions for future research integrating marketbased tools with psychometrically validated scales.

Title: Entre dois mundos - uma psicologia em construção: relato de vida e proposta curricular para a formação em psicologia na Guiné-Bissau Abstract: This dissertation focuses on the author's academic and professional journey in the field of Psychology—spanning two vastly different cultural contexts, Brazil and Guinea-Bissau—and presents a proposed curriculum for psychology training in Guinea-Bissau. The narrative is rooted in personal experiences marked by structural, emotional, and academic challenges, given the scarcity of resources and opportunities in Guinea-Bissau, particularly within the mental health sector. The author describes key aspects of her training, including her academic path, undergraduate internships, and the experience of grief as a pivotal moment that sparked her interest in Psychology. Special emphasis is placed on the role of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT); this approach, encountered during her training, influenced a shift in her research focus toward cognitive processes. The general objective of this research is to analyze the author's personal, academic, and professional journey in Psychology through an experiential account, with the aim of developing a curriculum proposal for psychology training in Guinea-Bissau. Thus, the study seeks to bridge individual experience with the structural needs of the Guinean context, thereby contributing to the development of the field within the country. The methodology adopted in this dissertation is a qualitative approach grounded in an experience-based account involving critical reflection, linked to a comparative international analysis of psychology curricula. This methodological choice is justified by the nature of the study, which aims not merely to describe a personal, academic, and professional journey, but to understand how this trajectory—shaped between Guinea-Bissau and Brazil—allows for a critical examination of the challenges facing psychology education in a country that currently lacks a higher education program in the field. In this sense, the experience-based account serves as a starting point for generating situated knowledge, enabling the integration of lived experience, sociocultural context, professional training, and theoretical analysis. The chapters present the author's educational journey from Guinea-Bissau to the start of her master's studies in Brazil, while also contextualizing the challenges facing the mental health sector in Guinea-Bissau, a landscape marked by a severe shortage of human, institutional, and material resources. This work also addresses the difficulties surrounding undergraduate programs—specifically in psychology—in Guinea-Bissau and the development of a curriculum proposal for psychology training in the country.
