El discurso sobre lo gremial

In this paper, I want to share reflections that stem from reading the essays of several Spanish colleagues, psychiatrists Guillermo Rendueles Olmedo, Manuel Desviat, Teresa Cabruja, Ivan de la Mata Ruiz, and Alberto Ortiz Lobo, who strongly denounce the psychologization and individualization of discomfort, as a way to de-politicize and de-socialize suffering, which is inseparably personal and social. I will also refer to what I consider are the causes of the malaise of the psychiatrist and finally, based on the ideas of French philosopher Jean Paul Sartre and German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer, I will talk about being political and social.
