School Psychology and Self-mutilation in adolescence: an intervention report

Abstract

This professional practice report presents workshops called “thinking and acting on the scene” held at a public school in the Federal District with adolescent students from Elementary School II, with complaints of self-mutilation. With psychoanalysis as the guiding reference, the results show the need to create spaces for the circulation of speech in and with teenagers at school. This text also emphasizes that the school psychologist can assist in conducting activities which reaffirms the need to give teenagers a voice in the school space and the urgency of an inclusive policy aimed at our young people
