Precariousness of working activity among professional psychologists

Abstract

This article recovers theoretical operators considered crucial for the approach to the precariousness of working activity. Such operators configure the evolution movement of the concept of dirty work to precarious work. This critical evaluation is based on the argument that the process of precariousness is not only restricted to external aspects, related to the conditions of professional practice, which can be sanitized, but it also encompasses aspects related to the dynamic that is necessarily established between the individual-worker and their professional gender through their work collective. From these theoretical operators, the conditions of professional exercise of Brazilian Psychology are analyzed to prove sufficient aspects to configure important indications of the precariousness of such professional craft. This analysis concludes with a list of possible alternatives for the training of future professionals and the resumption of quality of life in the real work of psychologists.
