Literally feeling like a released being-in-the-world:

the experience of 2nd period interns on psychological duty

Abstract

Training in Psychology recommends that students develop practical activities in institutions and specific groups outside higher education courses. One of these institutions is the school with its social actors in continuous socialization. The objective of this study is to understand the perspective of students in the second period of Psychology at a private institution in Manaus who accompanied students from more advanced periods in the Psychological Duty at a school in the municipal education system. The method used was the phenomenological-psychological research, when 4 students were asked to describe how their experience as on-call physicians was going. They were identified as constellations, namely: Andromeda, Cygnus, Pollux and Phoenix. Based on the Identification of Meaning Units in their speeches and their psychological characterizations, this was the modification made to the original method. 5 categories of analysis were constructed: 1) From the Big Bang to the creative explosion: the emergence of Andromeda, Cygnus, Pollux and Phoenix; 2) Fiat Lux: knowledge possibilities are presented!; 3) The stellar gases initiate the movement: the dive with the Other in his existentiality; 4) Constellations become a movement of welcoming, listening and caring!; 5) Cosmic dust is a seed that germinates: a look beyond theoretical hermetisms. It is concluded that developing activities in the Psychological Duty under the bias of Existential-Phenomenology makes it possible to reconfigure the thought about oneself and the other, the doing of Psychology and understanding the importance of the area for the society in which we are inserted.
