This article analyzes the discontent among teachers from a psychoanalytic perspective. Results of a survey, carried out between 2011 and 2013, with high school teachers in the city of Uberlândia-MG, are presented, in which interviews were carried out in order to understand possible reasons for the discontent among teachers. Understanding the malaise tha resulted of this discontent as a social phenomenon, we seek to analyze motivations related to typical symptoms of teacher malaise, such as apathy, suffering, illness and others. With support in Freudian Psychoanalysis, we established a relationship between social discontent and social phenomena that affect the school context, and that create psychological distress for many teachers. We found that some reasons for the malaise y discontent are associated with the failures of the educational process as an operator of psychic interdiction of students and ambivalence of feelings in relation to the profession, which can represent guilt and self-harm. We conclude that the school scenario needs contributions to reflections about the processes of social interdiction and the analysis of teacher malaise itself, as a dilemma that goes beyond the school walls.

Keywords : Discontent social; Teacher discontent; Psicoanálisis y Educación.
