This project is to try and think about what can make a psychologist - guarded by psychoanalysis of Freud and Lacan field - in institutional settings of social assistance while Brazilian public policy . Important to understand what are the possibilities of work, both as regards the forms of assistance to so-called " users " as the dialogues on collective bargaining , and that you can operate with the size of the unconscious. To this end , we will use as a methodology - or knowledge production mode - the Intercessor device which requires two steps. The first is the intercessor device as uniqueness Subjectivity production mode ( DIMPSS ) , this time of insertion of the researcher - as a worker position - in the institutional setting , in this case a Reference Center for Social Assistance ( CRAS ) of a city midsize the west of São Paulo. In the second phase , called Intercessor device as Knowledge Production Medium ( DIMPC ) will be compiled a reflection on his own experience as a worker occupied the position. This reflection , aimed at the university, will be guided by theoretical frameworks underpinning the DI , namely the Institutional Analysis , the difference of philosophy, the historical materialism of Marx and the psychoanalysis of Freud and Lacan.
