Repercussões da masculinidade hegemônica na escuta clínica psicológica: um relato de experiência.

Abstract

Understanding psychological suffering and obstacles related to social markers has become indispensable for discussing ethical conduct within the scope of public health. From an intersectional perspective and an emphasis associated with the conception of hegemonic masculinity, the present study aims to understand how the characteristics of this concept relate to the psychological suffering of men assisted in psychological clinical care in public institutions. This work consists of an experience report from internships in psychology, carried out in a municipal polyclinic and in a psychology service at a public university. The practice was recorded in a field diary and the data was interpreted based on analytical categories and created based on the similarity of the themes narrated in clinical care. The themes identified refered to complaints related to diagnoses, the imposition of a certain type of efficacy and difficulties in dealing with emotions. It is hoped that, given the problems explained related to hegemonic masculinity in this work, it will be possible to expand the discussion about gender dynamics and subjective affects related to normative expectations. This study, also aims to value public institutions that enable democratic, empathetic and ethical psychological listening, given the countless demands related to psychological illness, produced in contemporary times.
