“…Adicionalmente, esta mediación se formuló a través de un proyecto general de felicidad en y por el trabajo que se construyó en la conjunción entre la psicología de las diferencias y la psicología humanista (Donzelot, 1981;Hollway, 1991;Rose, 1996;Triantafillou & Moreira, 2005).…”

En este artículo se considera la re-organización del "complejo psi", en relación a las transformaciones que ocurren contemporáneamente en el mundo del trabajo. Para esto se hace un recorrido examinando los cambios en el lugar y las operaciones de la psicología con respecto a las formas sociales empleo y post-empleo. Se argumenta que el papel de la psicología en relación a la producción de la subjetividad laboral se ha ido transformando en medio a los cambios que ávidamente han ido socavando lo que ahora se conoce como el "buen trabajo". Estas mutaciones se caracterizan por el aumento acelerado de incertidumbres relacionadas con los distintos aspectos de las condiciones laborales tales como, la contratación, los horarios, los espacios laborales, y las relaciones interpersonales. Se concluye que, en este contexto, la psicología juega un papel preponderante para la producción de los nuevos sujetos que requiere la organización capitalista del trabajo. Palabras-clave: Subjetividad; empleo; post-empleo; psicología del trabajo; complejo psi.Neste artigo, a reorganização do "complexo psi" é considerada em relação às transformações que estão ocorrendo no mundo do trabalho contemporâneo. Para isso, examinam-se as mudanças ocorridas com o ambiente e as operações da psicologia em relação às formas sociais de emprego e pós-emprego. Argumenta-se que o papel da psicologia em relação à produção da subjetividade laboral modifica-se em meio às transformações que, avidamente, vêm debilitando o que agora se conhece como o "bom trabalho". Essas mutações são caracterizadas pelo aumento acelerado das incertezas relacionadas com diferentes aspectos das condições de trabalho, como contratação, horários, espaços de trabalho e relações interpessoais. Conclui-se que, nesse contexto, a psicologia desempenha papel importante para a produção de novos sujeitos requeridos pela organização capitalista do trabalho. Palavras-chave: Subjetividade; emprego; pós-emprego; psicologia do trabalho; complexo psi.In this article the re-organization of the "psy complex" is considered as regards the contemporary transformations that are taking place in the world of work. Toward this end, a review of the changes in the place and operations of psychology with respect to the employment and post-employment social forms is conducted. It is argued that the role of psychology in the production of workers' subjectivity is transforming amidst the mutations that have been avidly debilitating what is at present known as "good work". These mutations are characterized by an increasing rate of incertitude in aspects such as work contracts, rosters, labor spaces, and interpersonal relationships. It is concluded that in this context, psychology plays a central role for the production of new subjects that the capitalist organization of work requires. Keywords: Subjectivity; employment; post-employment; work psychology; psy complex.

“…The many clinicians who over the past years have studied the antidepressant efficacy claims of St John's Wort have had to build up psychological and physiological templates of healing (cf. Triantafillou and Moreira, 2005) as a prerequisite for quantifying clinical observations into recordable and visualizable clinical outcomes. And, since depression has been the object of clinical study since the 1960s, a lot of this work had already been done for them.…”

Above and beyond superstition — western herbal medicine and the decriminalizing of placebo

Does it work? This question lies at the very heart of the kinds of controversies that have surrounded complementary and alternative medicines (such as herbal medicine) in recent decades. In this paper, I argue that medical anthropology has played a pivotal and largely overlooked role in taking the sham out of the placebo effect with important implications for what it means to say a therapy or drug 'works'. If pharmacologists and clinicians have corporeally located the concept of efficacy in terms of bio-availability, pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics, and herbalists in terms of a herbal revitalising of the body's own vis medicatrix naturae, from the early 20 th century onwards medical anthropologists (especially those who became interested in the 'savage mind') have built up an equally rigorous theory of symbolic efficacy in terms of narratives, symbols and a kind of cognitive homeostasis. It was precisely as a mediating link between the somatic and the symbolic that I suggest a decriminalised placebo effect (as opposed to suggestion) could emerge in the middle of the 20 th century. Taking the example of St. John's Wort, I go on to show how notions of symbolic efficacy, spill-over placebo efficacy and bio-efficacy co-circulate in recent attempts by herbalists, clinicians and pharmacologists to address the question of whether or not this herbal remedy 'works' in the treatment of depression.

“…Paradójica situación, por una parte su práctica es indispensable para entender el lugar que tiene y las operaciones que cumple este conocimiento. Por otra parte, no se le ha dado el interés que debe suscitar su actuar cotidiano, el cual lleva a la instauración, en muy diversos ámbitos, de aquella psicología "mundana" de la que se dice es uno de los vehículos conducentes a la psicologización de las sociedades (Illouz, 2010;Jansz & Van Drunen, 2003;Pfister & Schnog, 1997;Triantafillou & Moreira, 2005;Ward 2002).…”

En este artículo, se presenta la construcción de un “museo de la psicología” como estrategia para la elaboración de la historia oral de la disciplina. En primer lugar, el debate entre psicología e historia constituye el marco para considerar el puesto que pueden ocupar los relatos de la experiencia de la práctica psicológica, en relación con la constitución de la historia de esta disciplina. A continuación, se describen los elementos fundamentales de la estrategia llamada “museo de la psicología”, diseñada para elicitar historias orales. Para finalizar, a manera de ilustración, se consideran ventajas y limitaciones que emergen de la aplicación de la estrategia.
