In Brazil, labor conditions and work relationships are becoming more precarious for public university lecturers. The psychological violence generated by such deteriorated context leads to possible effects of illness and suffering. Based on such situations, this paper reports an experience of Work Psychology with ill lecturers in a union. A synthesis about information obtained in interviews and counseling are presented. The study suggests a reliable pattern of relationships between lecturers and their employer (the University) that result in several types of psychological violence, including moral harassment.

Keywords : moral harassment; getting sick; work psychology; union action.
