Sick leave may result in a great impact on psychological organizaton, affecting the identity of those who are in this condition. The scope of this study is to understand the effects of such removal on the identity of men
and women. A technique in which people are invited to tell their stories through open question about specific issues (thematic oral storytelling) was used in eight patients (four men and four women) at a health clinic for workers. Facing the removal, the volunteers reported feelings of worthlessness, inferiority, sickness, stress in dealing with relationships, vulnerability facing difficulties, humiliation due to medical evaluation of their work capacities and rights to receive sick leave benefits and anxiety about the future. Through this sample it was concluded that being removed makes men and women suffer and experience important changes in their identity. Men present strong tendencies to cer tain behavior such as isolation and humiliation feelings.Downloads
