The construction of a device for studying the discourses that organize the health area: an essay on the discursive effects and the health professional training

Starting from the central ideas of the paper "A four-way approach to training in the health field: teaching, management, care, and social control", by Ceccim and Feuerwerker, published in 2004 in this journal, the author brings a contribution to this subject by proposing a theoretical essay in which each element of the four-way approach will be thought as specific discourse. To do that, Lacan's four discourses theory is brought in to build each discourse and to do the first analyses of the effects on training in health. After an elementary introduction about that theory, the author tries to articulate the four-way approach elements and built with his reader each one of the discourses, namely Teaching, Management, Care, and Social Control. The latter has been worked with more detail, according to the arguments of the original paper which gives it importance, and is now renamed as the User's Discourse to highlight the subjective element on that one. Finally, future researches paths are presented from several interrogations allowed by the construction and first analysis about the study on discourses effects. This work intends to collaborate in the same research line of the paper that inspired it by putting on questions to clarify the subject of Social Control discourse's possible conditions to interfere and produce the acts on health field as well as an element of the professional health training.
