A saúde mental de profissionais que trabalham com métodos autocompositivos no campo jurídico

Abstract

Work takes place through the transformation of nature by man, with work itself being the object of modification of man and his social relations. History shows that the worker has always been on the margins, initially without rights, exploited and subjected to unhealthy working conditions alluding to slavery. After a lot of struggle to conquer their rights, the worker still faces many challenges due to capitalism, an insatiable machine that sucks his life from this subject. Although technology has evolved and work tools have been modernized, worker care is still not taken into account, leaving the conditions of the industrial revolution for the overloads of modernity, a context that requires flexibility from the worker in terms of functions and working hours, which may exceed the working environment quota and extend to your residential environment. Even in the 21st century, work generates suffering and physical and mental illness, since the intellectual workforce is also affected, thus causing wear and tear on this subject and an overload, in order to lose the ability to relate and relate to others. communicate, generating judicialization, in which all impasses and conflicts are taken to the public and to court. With this in mind, we seek in this research to deal with professionals who perform an alternative method of conflict resolution, aiming at the solution through dialogue and without generating litigious processes, called self-composition methods, of which mediation is of interest. The objective of this research is to understand how the mental health of this professional is affected when carrying out mediation in the legal field in an unequal society, marked by conflict and the judicialization of social relations. We used historical, qualitative and field research as a methodological strategy. We carried out the research with two professionals who work in the Tocantins State Defender's Office with mediation and conciliation, preserving their identities through fictitious names. The research instrument applied was the semi-structured interview, as a means of collecting real data and information through reports of field experiences. In order to carry out the analyses, we constructed categories that provided an interpretation based on the theory. We emphasize that self-composition methods are not effective, when solving only occasional conflicts, not focusing on what produces the conflict. There is no understanding of mental health in its entirety and its components. Finally, there is no awareness that mental health is affected by work due to a lack of understanding of the reasons that generate the conflict.
