Abstract-This research aims at investigating the collective imaginary of high school teachers regarding teenagers nowadays. It is based on the perspective that the school environment plays an important role in the process of emotion growth, and that this environment is highly affected by the teachers' behavior. As an empirical psychoanalytical study, this investigation is composed of individual interviews with five teachers using the Drawing-Story with Theme procedure as a dialogical mediating resource. Transferential narratives were then written based on the clinical encounter and considered psychoanalytically, alongside the drawing-stories, allowing the perception of two affective-emotional fields, "naturally alienated" and "defensively alienated". It is our understanding that these two fields might guide teachers to different conducts in regards to their young students, ranging from an equally alienated behavior in the classroom to attempts at closing the distance between them. If on one hand we consider these studies valuable, since they aim at producing scientific knowledge that favors the entrance of the young into adulthood, on the other we must worry about how many empirical studies treat adolescence as a "risk factor", in the epidemiological sense: a situation that increases the changes of disease development. We are concerned about an exaggeration that might encourage discrimination against teenagers.Indeed, in a previously realized study in our CNPq research group, "Psychopathology, Psychoanalysis and Society", based at University of Sã o Paulo, with brazilians high-school students, we noted that they are used to supporting a paranoid imagination in relation to the experience of sexuality, as if it were something forbidden and worthy of punishment, what may be closely related to prejudiced way in which the society faces the teenagers sexuality. [6].It is our understanding, based on [7], [8], that the emotional growth of a human being is anchored in his or her environment so that one of the ways for us to be able to face all these social problems involving teenagers is to generate scientific knowledge about the environment they live in.This study is focused, therefore, in what high school teachers have to say about their teenage students, given that the teachers play an essential part in this environment, even though they are not responsible for it [9], [10]. II. METHODOLOGYIn our research group, we develop studies on prejudiced and discriminatory conduct that generates social anguish, based on [8]- [11]. We use the term "collective imaginary" to refer to symbolic manifestations, a group of ideas, emotions, beliefs and images that a set collective produces in relation to a phenomenon [12]. So, in this study, we investigate the collective imaginary of teachers regarding teenagers, aiming at understanding the unconscious affective-emotional layer from which it emerges.We understand that, through this study, it would be possible to produce scientific knowledge that could favor two social groups: 1) the gr...

Resumo: Este artigo apresenta um relato de experiência de duas estudantes do último ano da graduação em Psicologia, com a prática psicanalítica de grupos durante estágio obrigatório com ênfase em Saúde Mental, dentro de uma clínica escola, sob supervisão e orientação da professora supervisora. Os atendimentos foram baseados na perspectiva psicanalítica winnicottiana, com aplicação teórico-prática em um grupo terapêutico composto por mulheres com queixas de depressão, através da oficina terapêutica "Caixa de Lembranças". A proposta do grupo foi pautada no uso de um recurso mediador dialógico, que se caracterizou como materialidade mediadora, que tinha como objetivo favorecer a expressão emocional das integrantes do grupo, de forma livre e menos defendida, favorecendo condutas genuínas e espontâneas. A vivência da grupoterapia apontou a particularidade e subjetividade de cada caso e a necessidade em se adaptar o tratamento para cada indivíduo, uma vez que o atendimento em grupo não teve o mesmo efeito em todas as integrantes, o que não significa que não tenha sido eficaz, acredita-se que movimentos de mudanças foram observados nos envolvidos.
