A descontinuidade entre agressividade e violência: uma contribuição psicanalítica às práticas educacionais

Abstract

This dissertation aims at providing health and education professional with a tool that can enlighten their understanding of aggressive behaviors and violent situations, both commonly found at educational institutions. This research is developed in three chapters plus a final section of conclusions. The first one, present different ideas about the concepts of aggressiveness and violence. For that, the works of three psychoanalysts are used, Sigmund Freud, Jacques Lacan and Donald Winnicott. The second chapter approaches Winnicott s emotional development theory, so that, in the third chapter, those two processes mentioned above can be analyzed, through the perspective of the author. The latter guides us to a process that denaturalizes violence and also withdraws the concept of aggressiveness from being considered pathological. At last, as a more direct contribution to the field of the education, reflections and proposals are suggested so that the school environment can be able to give way to the creativity of the individuals, and also to the full power of being a citizen. These two processes happening at the schools can collaborate to the decrease in violence irruption and reproduction, that devastates the contemporary world.
