Trabalho com cadáveres no IML: revisão bibliográfica sob a ótica das abordagens clínicas do trabalho

Abstract

This article is aliterature review that seeks to expand knowledge about academic productions concerning professionals who deal with corpses within Legal Medical Institutes. This type of activity is related to very broad themes, such as: stigma, social invisibility, recognition at work and the concept of “dirty work. Such concepts establish an interface with Clinical Approaches to Work. The search included articles and dissertations that explore this interface. We used databases such as Scielo, Academic Google, CAPES Thesesand Dissertations Bank, and National Library Theses and Dissertations, selecting 12 publications. We observed in the universe researched an approximation of the theme by areas of knowledge such as Psychology, Sociology, Law, Anthropology and Administration. We concluded through this review that the daily life of these workers is full of difficulties due to the precarious conditions offered by the institutions in which they work. We detail these phenomena through the construction of four categories. We concluded that Clinical Approaches to Work offer a significant arsenal of intervention and analysis of the question, although the researches have approached workers predominantly from a passive perspective that ignores their potential for transforming work
