Abstract
From the Psychodynamics of Work, it is analyzed the psychic dynamics of workers away from work due to illness arising and/or aggravated at work. Among the concepts of this approach contributing to the understanding of the phenomenon stand out: work and its relation with subjectivity, suffering, collective, and reflections on the relations between involuntary ruptures of professional activity and illness. It urges to investigate: the relation of management models with forms of sickness and absence from work; the problem of professional rehabilitation; and the possibilities of using the methodology of this approach for groups of professionals from different working environments.
