O sujeito contemporâneo à luz da psicanálise e os impactos na formação integral diante de uma Educação Jesuítica

Abstract

This article proposes a reflection on the impact of Integral Formation, grounded in Jesuit Education, on the constitution of the contemporary subject from a psychoanalytic perspective. In a social context marked by neoliberal logic, a culture of performance, and fragmented relationships, there is a growing prevalence of psychological distress among children, adolescents, and adults. Based on a bibliographic review and a theoretical-reflective study with a qualitative and interpretative approach, this article analyzes how these transformations affect individuals' subjective development. It draws on authors such as Freud, Lacan, Bauman, Birman, Han and Dunker to characterize contemporary forms of suffering. To deepen the discussion on Integral Formation, key guiding documents from the Society of Jesus and the Rede Jesuíta de Educação (RJE - Jesuit Education Network, Brazil) were used, which promote educational practices committed to comprehensive human development. Jesuit Education, with its reflective and compassionate approach, emerges as a powerful tool for fostering humanizing educational processes capable of shaping conscious, critical individuals committed to the common good. The study concludes that, for education to be truly transformative, it must recognize the subject in their entirety and promote spaces that welcome, listen to, and make sense of human experiences.
