Depressão infantil no contexto escolar : construções possíveis a partir da percepção dos professores.

Abstract

This research aims to understand the perception of the teachers in the Santa Cruz do Sul state school system about childhood depression and identify possible constructions based on their perceptions. We sought to understand what characterizes the disease for these professionals, how it presents itself in the classroom and how they deal with the situation, also seeking to find possible ways to enhance the school environment and the work of the teacher by linking them to a health-promoting environment. This study conducted semi-structured interviews with four professionals from two different schools, one from the center of the town and the other from the outskirts. Through a qualitative methodology, this study carried out an analysis of the teachers' narratives based on the psychoanalytic approach.
