This article analyzes the use of the concept of ethical-political suffering, created by Prof. Dr. Bader Sawaia, from the reflections fostered in its core research. In this study, we chose to analyze the use of the concept in articles published from 2000 to 2011, using the SciELO database and Capes, and later Google Scholar, which were included or excluded from the analysis according to the criteria of the period researched and the use of the concept by the author in his analysis. The concept of the initial publication date of 1999 and is justified by the scope of the survey period who achieved so much in social psychology and in other fields of knowledge. The research result shows that the ethical-political suffering is already a key concept in the Humanities for understanding the psychosocial dimension of the process of exclusion / inclusion in socio-historical contexts of social inequality.
