"Alienation and the Psychodynamics of Work"

by Dejours, Christophe (2006)

Abstract

The evidence gathered from medical case-studies and from the psychopathology of work throws up a body of contradictory findings relative to the question of alienation. Even a phenomenon such as workplace suicide cannot be restricted to any single, unambiguous interpretation. This said, when we analyze the aggravation of the work-related mental pathologies, we are confronted with a set of findings which enable us to clarify the contemporary meaning of the Marxist notion of alienation.
