Notas sobre los dispositivos de observación en el salón de clases o la Rosa Púrpura del Cairo en el modelo educativo

Abstract

This writing is an analytical exploration of the observation came out by the students of Psychology of Groups and Institutional Analysis as a practice which should be studied and read as particular trend of the specific training in the areas of education and related fields. It is a reflection on specific practices which result in disquieting positions and analytical considerations, which might lead our own practice to contradictory assertions and extreme and fragile theoretical assumptions: the therapeutic psychological treatment of patients in the final stages of mortal maladies, and their psychological implication of the analyst in the therapeutic process. The subtitle, The Purple Rose of El Cairo is S a metaphor taken from Woody Allen's film which seeks to evince both the singular role of the observer which intrudes into the filmic space and thus becomes a relevant character of its plot, and the complementary effect of the film character spacing from the fixed images, and altering the whole set of the patterns of behavior of the certainties of the innocent observer. This work seeks to support a theoretical position on the particular attitudes, defenses and negations exhibited by the specialist which brings about an implicit or open stigmatization of the patient which is about to face death. The strong relation between the student's formation and his practice is revealed by the experience of observing the dying other and conferring a sense upon his malady through the diagnosis –built upon the medical discourse- which excludes the other from the realm of life and even condemns the sick human being to actual death. This reveals the psychologist's particular way of accompanying the dying subject. Which are the reasons that might drive a subject to become the guide or company of a dying human being?
