Interdisciplinary Exchange

Lawyers are the engineers of the social sciences, and their doctors. Neither is good for reputation in interdisciplinary exchange. Social scientists often show contempt for a discipline that seems too close to reality to meet hard methodological standards, and too much concerned by pathologies that are beyond the reach of their methodological tools. As with many prejudices, there is a grain of truth in this one. But not all law is about making decisions and judgements in the face of a reality that is at best partly understood. The legal discipline has its own methodological standards. For the sake of internal clarity, it aims at parsimony. But modelling is not the legal path to methodological rigor. The legal equivalent boils down to one simple question: who asks whom for what? The law splits abstract problems into a series of cases. It reaches parsimony via the selection and sequence of cases. These hypothetical cases are like histological cuts through the social tissue. The legal discipline starts cutting at cases for which existing legal tools seem particularly wellsuited. If these cases are understood, the legal discipline then starts again with the more demanding ones. It is hoped that the sequence of cases leads to an understanding of situations that seemed inaccessible at the outset.

Este estudo busca desvelar as questões que representam os principais entraves referentes aos transtornos mentais relacionados ao trabalho (TMRT). Foram analisados os resultados de uma revisão sobre a vigilância em saúde mental e trabalho, de 2017, e se comparou com os resultados da segunda oficina de saúde mental e trabalho (SM&T), no X Congresso de Epidemiologia, do mesmo ano. No artigo, são pontuadas quatro vertentes para o entendimento sobre a SM&T: os dados epidemiológicos; as políticas vigentes de enfrentamento do problema; o entendimento da a centralidade da organização do trabalho; e as estratégias de ação e intervenção nos ambientes de trabalho, ou a ausência destas, principal nó crítico do fenômeno estudado. Na oficina, constatou-se que as ações em SM&T, realizadas pelos profissionais da rede, são incipientes e de pouca visibilidade; as ações dos centros de referência na área são, em sua maioria, ações de educação em saúde. Este estudo contribui com uma crítica embasada nas ciências sociais, revelando possibilidades e estratégias para o enfrentamento de tais dificuldades, uma vez que o contexto de enfrentamento dos agravos à saúde mental relacionados ao trabalho se mostra um desafio singular para o campo da saúde do trabalhador.Abstractthis study aims to uncover the issues that represent the main obstacles regarding work-related mental disorders (tMrt). We analyzed the results of a review on mental health and work surveillance in 2017 and compared it with the results of the second workshop on mental health and work (SM&t) at the X Congress of Epidemiology in that same year. in this article four topics are scored for the understanding of SM&T: the epidemiological data; the current policies for coping with the problem; the understanding of the centrality of work organization; and the strategies of action and intervention in the work environments, or the absence of these, main critical node of the studied phenomenon. In the workshop, it was verified that the SM&T actions carried out by network professionals are incipient and of little visibility; the actions of the centers of reference in the area are, for the most part, health education actions. This study contributes with a critique based on the social sciences, revealing possibilities and strategies for coping with such difficulties, since the context of dealing with work-related mental health problems is a unique challenge for the field of the worker health.

Scholarly Attention

In the last three decades, mindfulness and resilience have received extensive scholarly attention. Research has burgeoned and they have both become “buzz words” in the social sciences and mental health fields. That said, they are often presented as unrelated qualities, skills, or states, and few studies and texts have examined their linkages and/or how they complement each other. Masten’s (2001, 2009) seminal papers and subsequent book (2014) that presented resilience as “ordinary magic” have had large impacts on resilience scholarship, bringing forth that resilience is much more of a common human occurrence and proclivity than previously considered. In this paper, we explore the potential for mindfulness to be a potentially overlooked and ubiquitous protective factor in the development and maintenance of resilience. To achieve this, we propose that mindfulness is fundamental to resilience by investigating linkages between mindfulness and resilience yet to be thoroughly explored in the literature, and discuss how mindfulness is logically connected to resilience. Likewise, we suggest that the complementary interplay between mindfulness and resilience is readily applicable and highly germane, as mindfulness may beget resilience and vice versa.
