Morte e luto na História em Quadrinhos Abstract: Death and bereavement are permeated by values, affections, and meanings associated with the historical and sociocultural context. In order to understand different meanings related to these themes and to contribute with subsidies for professional practice in Psychology, this study sought, in the face of the potential of art, especially Literature, to analyze the work A missão dos gatos e de cada bichinho de estimação (Estúdios Mauricio de Sousa, 2007). The analysis of the comic book was conducted through the lens of Cultural-Historical Psychology, particularly drawing on the rich contributions of Vigotski (1999) and following the contributions of Candido (1995). By moving through the words of the characters, death, bereavement, and life were found to be central themes. In the meeting between text and illustration, the expressions of the characters, the use of large capital letters in specific moments, and the chosen words are examples of resources capable of evoking various affections and reflections regarding different meanings of the themes addressed, while also bringing author and reader closer together. Thus, the analysis reinforces the power of the composition between form and content, that is, the power of Art to transform affections and thoughts, promote humanization, and contribute to professional training in Psychology.

The research included 174 individuals who responded to a sociodemographic questionnaire, the APR Financial Stress Scale, and the C-PATHOS Labour instrument (Activity Pathologies). The results indicated significant positive correlations between all dimensions of financial stress and the dimensions of Activity Pathology. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that financial stress explains 34.4% of the total variance in activity pathology. Specifically, the physiological dimension of financial stress was a significant predictor of overload pathology, while the affective and relational dimensions were significant predictors of meaning Pathology. These findings suggest that financial stress constitutes an important risk factor for the development of Pathologies related to work activity, both in terms of physical and mental overload and loss of meaning at work. The study contributes to understanding the impacts of financial stress in the work context and offers insights for developing interventions that consider the financial dimension as a relevant component of worker health. Keywords: Financial stress; Activity Pathology; Worker health; Work Psychology; Occupational stress.

Relato de Experiência de uma Oficineira em uma Unidade de Internação em Saúde Mental Abstract: This study explored the lived experience of a therapeutic workshop facilitator in an inpatient mental health unit, examining how therapeutic workshops shape care practices and institutional dynamics. Workshops were conducted through the Dê Lírios extension project at the Mental Health Inpatient Unit of the Clinical Hospital of the Federal University of Uberlândia (HC-UFU), Brazil. Grounded in Michel Foucault's theoretical perspective, the study assumes the asylum apparatus continues to operate through medicalizing, disciplinary, and exclusionary practices despite advances achieved by the Brazilian Psychiatric Reform. Within this context, therapeutic workshops emerge as collective practices that draw on artistic and creative resources to promote forms of care that move beyond institutional norms. This qualitative, exploratory study was developed as an experience report. Data were generated through participant observation and field diaries produced during fifteen workshops held between June and September 2025 and analyzed using Thematic Analysis. Findings showed therapeutic workshops fostered spaces for encounter, desire, and expression of subjectivity, enabling participants to engage in experiences of creativity, freedom, and recognition beyond the identity of psychiatric patients. At the same time, institutional practices remained permeated by power relations that constrained these experiences, requiring workshops to operate within existing institutional boundaries. Therapeutic workshops proved most meaningful when they remained open to unpredictability and were guided by participants interests and needs. Facilitators willingness to embrace encounters without predetermined outcomes supported singular experiences of care, opened spaces within everyday hospital routines, and, although modestly, challenged the persistence of asylum logic.

It is based on the idea that work occupies a central place in social life and seeks to understand how presence on digital platforms has reorganized professional daily life, work experiences, and the subjective effects associated with this process. This is a qualitative study based on a netnographic approach, in which the production of empirical materials was carried out through the analysis of posts and their respective comments on social media platforms such as Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok, recorded in a field diary. The theoretical framework is Social Psychology of Work. As results, four thematic categories were developed, addressing the professionals’ relationship with digital presence; the effects of this type of demand on their daily lives and mental health; the ethical conflicts involved; and the resistance strategies used to cope with the situations experienced. Social media platforms are understood as spaces marked by conflicts, where demands for presence, engagement, and self-management are identified, intensifying and expanding the time dedicated to professional activities. Feelings of tiredness, guilt, and comparison with other professionals appear as effects of this movement, understood in this study as related to structural processes and not merely as an individual issue. The research reinforces the importance of critically reflecting on the use of these platforms, promoting mental health and ethics in clinical practice in a digital context that increasingly shapes interactions and social relationships.
