Resumo: This study offers a critical analysis of the changes observed in the treatment of psychiatric suffering in recent history, noting the contribution from factors such as: the standardization of symptoms brought by the successive editions of the DSM series (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders), the results of researches in neuroscience that attempt to establish the psychic functioning upon organic bases, and the huge development of psychopharmaceuticals as a result of massive financial investments. The combined action of this group of factors had as its effect the loss of the notion of sense/meaning of the symptoms and subjective sufferings, which belongs to classical psychiatry, and the growing medicalization of the individuals in contemporary society. The text seeks to outline a picture of how a new truth about the psychic sufferings was produced, and expands this analysis by showing that the medicalization procedures developed for the treatment of the adult population were extended also to children. It reviews the evolution of the treatment of children, marking the interaction between pedagogy and medicine in the constitution of child psychiatry. In addition to that, the text tries to reveal the effects of this truth upon the subjects, identifying the way in which the technical discourse (particularly influenced by the medical-psychological discourse) has been given a place in the contemporary world, and how its has influenced education. It underlines, as products of this process, the banalization of existence, the naturalization of suffering, and the blaming of individuals for the accidents of life, and argues that the psychologization of school may nowadays be replaced by the psychiatrization of school discourse. The articulation knowledge/truth/power is investigated here from the texts of Michel Foucault.

Este estudo analisa criticamente as mudanças observadas no tratamento do sofrimento psíquico na história recente, apontando a contribuição de fatores como: a padronização de sintomas trazida pelas sucessivas edições da série DSM (Manual Diagnóstico e Estatístico de Transtornos Mentais), os resultados de pesquisas na neurociência - que tentam fundamentar o funcionamento psíquico em bases orgânicas - e o grande desenvolvimento dos psico-fármacos, fruto de maciços investimentos financeiros. A ação desse conjunto de fatores teve por efeito a perda da noção de sentido/significado dos sintomas e dos sofrimentos subjetivos, própria da psiquiatria clássica, e a crescente medicalização dos indivíduos na sociedade contemporânea. O texto busca alinhavar como aconteceu a produção de uma nova verdade acerca dos sofrimentos psíquicos e amplia essa análise, evidenciando que os procedimentos de medicalização surgidos no cuidado da população adulta foram estendidos também para as crianças. Revê a evolução do tratamento da criança, marcando a interação da pedagogia e da medicina na constituição da psiquiatria infantil. Além disso, busca evidenciar os efeitos dessa verdade sobre os sujeitos, identificando a forma como o discurso técnico (especialmente influenciado pelo discurso médico-psicológico) tem tido lugar no mundo contemporâneo e como este tem influenciado a Educação. Trata de ressaltar, como produtos, a banalização da existência, a naturalização do sofrimento e a culpabilização dos indivíduos pelas vicissitudes da vida. Argumenta que a psicologização da escola pode ceder lugar hoje à psiquiatrização do discurso escolar. A articulação saber/verdade/poder é aqui tratada a partir dos textos de Michel Foucault.
