RESUMO

Volunteer actions have been widely defended as important for many areas in development. In fact, the involvement of people in such actions is increasing. Nevertheless, it has been shown that the volunteers commitment to the action that he engages in is usually very low. There is a tendency to abandon the action after a period of involvement. The present work seeks to examine the points identified as being of great relevance in volunteering issues, such as unconscious motivations that lead the subject to volunteer actions, the volunteer s low level of commitment, the consequences that can arrive from deviations from a truly altruistic direction and, finally, to discuss the cultural idealization of doing good. This research stems from my experience in a Volunteering Program in a corporate environment, and is based on Freudian texts and others by contemporary authors of psychoanalysis. The text itself is intended as a tool for the elaboration of what my psychoanalytic listening has produced in four years as supervisor of more than eighty volunteers in the program called Social Mentoring, emphasizing how their work evolved, from the point of view of the psychoanalytic supervision taking place there. Thus, this dissertation supports the possibility of the contribution of psychoanalytic knowledge to Volunteering actions
