Abstract

This research aimed to analyze the clinical process of a patient, a cook who worked at a gas station restaurant, who reported complaints about work overload, which resulted in symptoms such as difficulty sleeping, accelerated heartbeat, and the use of anxiolytics. The research applied the theoretical and methodological framework of Clinical Psychopathology at Work. The clinical data examination occurred through content analysis, which revealed the suffering at work, the sickening conditions of the organization, and how the subject was entangled in the demands of the capitalist discourse and the tyrannies of the Superego. Clinical listening about suffering at work gave the worker a voice, mobilizing her to move from the invoked subject to the invoking subject. The Clinical Psychopathology of Work is a consistent theoretical and methodological framework for understanding the subject-work relationship and changing the individual's subjective position.

Keywords: Extension. Clinical Work Psychopathology. Invoking subject. Overload.
