Abstract
The article expose and discusses some considerations on the relationships between
the labour and certain psychic aspects, present in the works of French psychoanalyst
Christophe Dejours. The symptomatic expressions of this relationship are
emphasized that would be making visible a suffering experienced by the subject in
the task of its work position. In a central way it is considered the complex bond that
settles down between the institution of labour and the demands that, on the other
hand, it imposes the own psyche.
