RESUMO:

The processes of medicalization of education and society involve a deterministic rationality that erases the complexity of life and ends up reducing it to individual issues in its different areas, organic and / or psychic. In the educational system, attempts have been made to homogenize differences and hold individuals responsible for their failure to adapt to the dominant order. Just as students are being labeled, diagnosed and treated with supposed disorders, this capture has been repeated with the teachers, whose anguish, afflictions and concerns that have gone through the praxis have been naturalized and often even pathologized, categorized as syndromes and mental disorders . The aim of this study was to analyze how medicalization processes have been going through the teaching work, more specifically the health / disease process related to the work of basic education teachers from the public school in Salvador. As for the method, it is an empirical research, with a qualitative approach, based on the socio-historical perspective from the authors: Lancillotti (2008); Saviani (1994; 2015); Oliveira, (2004; 2013); Hypólito (1991); Louro (1997); Paparelli (2009); Buss (2007); Canguilhem (1990); Foucault (1992, 2008); Lacaz (2014); Collares and Moysés (2014); Forum on the Medicalization of Education and Society (2015); Oliveira; Viégas; Harayama (2016) and Patto (1992; 2005; 2007; 2015). For this, we use direct observations and semi-structured interviews as instruments. The data were transcribed and systematized into semantic categories according to the content analysis technique. The results showed that the teachers recognize a link between illness and work, but because it is a recurring phenomenon, they started to naturalize illness as inherent in work and as “the evil of the profession”. In addition, different nuances of the crossing of the medicalization processes in the health-disease relationship linked to the teachers' work were evidenced: the naturalization, blaming and individualization of the suffering caused by work, the report of the use (abusive or not) of drugs and psychotropic drugs for dealing with work woes and the use of conventional therapies and considered alternatives as a form of intervention in problems arising from the work process and to help support the adversities of the school routine. The study shows how much the illness related to teaching work is displaced from its political, socioeconomic, labor and ideological determinations and is attributed only to the teachers' organization. As well as it denounces that the medicalization processes have acted as an attempt to hide historically structured inequalities.
