| Résumé : |
An illness is developing in Brazil in workers who have to do repetitive work : disorders of the muscles and
the bone structure. The authors wonder about the possible psychosocial factors that could take part in the birth of
this pathology. The studies involve bank employees and workers in a student restaurant. They make it possible to
demonstrate that in these two categories there are disorders conceming their personal and social identity. They
reveal the various mechanisms of defence (denial, splitting, idealization) that workers put into action in order to
reconstruct a self-image that has been knocked about by tasks that are perceived as sources of humiliation as well
as suffering and to give some meaning to their professionnal activity. |
