The present study analyzes the professional experiences of an operative group composed of caregivers of the Greater Care Program of the City of Belo Horizonte. It presents analyses of the working conditions encountered by these professionals and their participation in the genesis and development of psychopathological phenomena. This contract allowed the systematization of some factors involved in the psychodynamics of illness of the worker or caregiver, the opportunities for overcoming this, and the limitations inherent in the process. It was based on notions of the Operative Group of Pichon-Riviere and research in the psychodynamics of work developed by Christophe Dejours.
