Vai ouvir a nossa voz : reforma psiquiátrica, psicologia e política

Abstract

This dissertation handle the resonances produced by the process of Psychiatric Reform regarding conceptions of politics with the origin by the psychologists militant of this movement in Rio Grande do Sul. To understand the meanings produced by the trajectories of these professionals, we made a theoretical and comparative study of epistemological and ontological bases proposed by deinstitutionalisation, as well as the paradigm of critical social psychology and the study of Hannah Arendt. The main assumptions of this philosopher were crucial in the discussion about the political psychology. We demonstrated the relevance of this theoretical and practical study in this field, since the political positions based psychological practices. In addition, it was found that several essential questions arise to produce transformations that are supported on goals that stipulate the establishment of rights and recognition of human diversity. Lean on in this interdisciplinary dialogue, we built up the second study that had as topic the search for points of contact and divergence in the narratives of the respondents. This review produced thematic dimensions that enabled discuss the conceptions of politics and suggest contributions to the conceptualization of militancy in the psychology field. The historical research when use as a source the produce of memories, it becomes natural to understand the past in the present, revealing silences and erasures produced by officialdom.
