Title: Evidências de validade de estrutura interna do LGBT Climate Inventory no Brasil Abstract: The LGBT Climate Inventory (LGBTCI) is one of the most widely used instruments internationally to assess perceptions of organizational climate for LGBTQIA+ individuals. This study aimed to present evidence of the internal structure validity of the LGBTCI in the Brazilian context. A total of 311 self-identified LGBTQIA+ professionals participated and completed the adapted version of the LGBTCI and a sociodemographic questionnaire. Data were analyzed using Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA), based on a polychoric correlation matrix and the Robust Diagonally Weighted Least Squares (RDWLS) estimator. The results supported the retention of the original unidimensional structure, with good fit indices (χ² = 335.92, df = 170; p < .001; RMSEA [95% CI] = .069 [.054, .078]; CFI = .994; TLI = .993), high reliability (ω, α, and CR = .97), and potential stability in future replications (H > .80). The psychometric properties of this instrument support its use in the Brazilian context, contributing to the diagnosis and development of strategies to foster more inclusive organizations.

Title: Pesquisa psíquica e os limites da Psicologia científica em William James: tradução do Relatório Report on Mrs. Piper’s Hodgson-Control Abstract: This study aims to translate and analyze the report Report on Mrs. Piper’s Hodgson-Control (1909), in order to examine the epistemological status of psychical research in the work of William James and to understand how such investigation relates to the process of consolidation of scientific psychology in the late nineteenth century. Based on a bibliographical review of the formation of modern psychology, the activities of the Society for Psychical Research, and James’s intellectual trajectory, the epistemological status of psychical phenomena and the tensions between naturalism, empiricism, and spiritualism are discussed. The work is characterized as theoretical, historical, and documentary research, including a full translation of the 1909 report, carried out according to criteria of conceptual fidelity and preservation of the original argumentative style. The analysis demonstrates that James did not adopt a dogmatic stance toward the investigated phenomena, rejecting both premature metaphysical acceptance and automatic skeptical dismissal. The report reveals a methodology grounded in the comparison of competing hypotheses and in the evaluation of degrees of probability, emphasizing interpretative caution as a central principle. It is concluded that psychical research occupied a significant place within James’s scientific project, functioning as an epistemological laboratory in which the limits and possibilities of the emerging psychological method became visible.

“O fim do reino do divã”: a clínica psicanalítica contemporânea e os casos-limite

Title: “O fim do reino do divã”: a clínica psicanalítica contemporânea e os casos-limite Abstract: This work aims to understand the limit-case functioning and discuss the role of psychoanalytic practice at the limits of analyzability, taking as its central reference the work of André Green, for whom limit-cases represent the clinical paradigm of contemporaneity. The study initially provides a historical and theoretical contextualization of the psychoanalytical field. It begins with Freud's classical method, focused on neurosis, and traces the post-Freudian transformations that broadened the scope of clinical practice, highlighting the contributions of Sándor Ferenczi and the "babelism" among psychoanalytic schools of thought. Then, André Green's metapsychological model for the limit-case is presented. The author revisits and expands Freudian concepts such as the function of the negative, the death drive, and the life and death narcissism. In the limit-case functioning, the function of the negative operates radically, attacking object and representational connections, etiologically linking itself to the "dead" mother figure, resulting in a psyche marked by splits, emptiness, and fragile symbolization. Finally, the technical implications are discussed. It is argued that the classic framework, centered on the couch (dream model), is inadequate. The act model is proposed, in which the analyst, anchored in their internal framework and clinical thought, actively modulates the setting (external framework) and the active matrix (dialogical process) to create conditions for analysability, tending towards representation. It is concluded that Green's theory instrumentalizes Psychoanalysis to meet contemporary subjectivities, signaling "the end of the couch’s reign" and the consolidation of a flexible and transmatricial clinical practice.

Title: Ela é tão boa (no que faz)! O papel preditor de autoeficácia, autoestima e percepção de suporte organizacional na percepção de empregabilidade de mulheres brasileiras Abstract: Women often identify disadvantages associated with their gender in organizations, especially in the face of male predominance in leadership positions and the persistent inequality of opportunities and employability between men and women. The aim of this study is to investigate the predictive role of self-efficacy, self-esteem, and perceived organizational support in the self-perception of employability among Brazilian women. The sample consisted of 273 working women, aged between 18 and 65 years (M=30.6; SD=8.68), who completed online the Self-Perception of Employability Scale, the New General Self-Efficacy Scale, the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, the Organizational Support Perception Scale, and a sociodemographic questionnaire. The results from structural equation modeling indicated a good fit of the model to the data: χ2/df=1.011, CFI=1.000, TLI=.999, and RMSEA (90% CI) = .006 (.000–.022), explaining 35% of the variance in employability perception. The main contribution of this study is to highlight the importance of women seeing themselves positively, believing they are capable, and being placed in supportive contexts to encourage their perception of employability.
