Abstract

The present Conclusion of Course work deals with demonstrating the direct influence of contemporary capitalist society in the processes of mental illness of the working class. Where will be approached how this society is structured since its beginnings, its engenderments and how it operates in the daily life of the subalternized class. Another relevant factor is the emergence of Social Work within this process of strengthening the current economic system, as a maneuver to control the ruling class to its dominated ones. The historical process of Mental Health is no less important, since it is not possible to approach any events without examining their historicity, in order to aim at unveiling reality in its entirety, considering that it is in constant motion. Nevertheless, it is crucial to observe how these three points intertwine and influence each other directly, since as Social Work evolves as a profession, it starts to act directly in the search to make rights possible to the class by which it identifies itself, that is, the class a worker, aiming for a more just and egalitarian society that does not match capitalist sociability and mental health being a right, Social Work must therefore excel for it. Regarding the work methodology, the critical dialectical method was used as the method of analysis, and a qualitative exploratory documentary research was carried out, where the documents referring to Supervised Internship I and II in Social Work were analyzed, which are part of the grid. curriculum of the Bachelor's Degree in Social Work, such documents are presented as a source of a broad process of knowledge production that corroborated for the construction of this work.
