• Resumo:

  This article explores contributions and limits of psychology, and more specifically, of clinical psychology, coping with psychological suffering concerning unemployment. It is based upon some studies about unemployment representations and psychological suffering developed by the Center of Work Applied Psychology and by the Counseling Center of Instituto de Psicologia - Universidade de São Paulo.
