Grupo e Instituição: nas tramas de pathos, o percurso da desilusão

Abstract

This work grew out of my interest in group formations. Chosen as a field of research non-governmental organization whose purpose is to house people living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and subject addicts. The objective of the research was to analyze the institutional mind from the group work and raising the speeches of the institution. Throughout the research, scoured by authors who corroborated the hypothesis that the mind-institutional group functioned similarly to the individual mind. This hypothesis was discussed and based on Freudian theory that just as the psyche works as a protective shield against excesses of excitement coming from the internal and external world through projection, institutions can also do it to serve as deposit unbearable contents of the mind of its residents. The study was designed with the institution for four months with weekly meetings of a sixteen hour and thirty minutes each. We used the psychoanalytic method, anchored in the transference relationship researcher research. The weirdness was identified as characteristic of the institutional presence of mind travestilidade in an institution of strong religious overtones and the way they dealt with the psychological distress through naturalization and indifference. In the transference relationship, the death instinct made to settle the bonds from the identification with the abandonment and helplessness. From meetings unveiled are four speeches in / institution: the addiction, the device AIDS, religion and philanthropy. Countertransference possible grasp the psychic functioning institutional supported himself by this discursive paradox, violent and perverse and my illusion of caring for the psychic pain of the residents was related to this. Discuss transvestites used their bodies as instruments of recognition and accounted for it, the negation of law and authority, may be considered institutional representatives of the symptom. Concluded that the institution did not provide for the sustainability of helplessness function as a place of transit passage, volatile, configuring it as a paradigm of postmodernity.
