Reflections and instruments in the fight against educational expulsion

Abstract

I start questioning myself about the possibility of calling "clinical" a psychoeducational context and what is the possible intervention in educational institutions where I operate. I assume as questions about the children's clinic as well, what are the ways of reading the "new" psychic discomforts in the contemporary world and what is the role of the psychologist. In the context of student professional practices in the Modules of Educational Psychology I and II, at the Universidad de Costa Rica where I am a teacher, I outline a psychoeducational strategy aimed at strengthening children in vulnerable condition in the Costa Rican education system, keeping in mind the initial questions, the crisis of the educational institution, the massive school failure, the pathologizing and medicalization of school children in the patriarchal and capitalist system.
