Análise psicossocial do processo saúde-doença

This article is a reflection about the transdiciplinary paradigmas of the health-illness process noting the symbolic mediation between the reactions of the biological organism and the socio-environment factors including the pathogenic ones. The symbolic-affective mediation is analyzed from the perspective of Social Representation theory allowing one to comprehend the references of individual and collective actions in the health-illness process.

Pelo reencantamento da Psicologia: em busca da positividade epistemológica da imaginação e da emoção no desenvolvimento humano

A entrada do homem na historia e uma das questoes centrais das Ciencias Humanas. O presente texto reflete sobre a contribuicao de Angel Pino para evitar interpretacoes reducionistas dessa questao, destacando a sua proposicao de que essa passagem se da pela imaginacao, sendo ela inseparavel da emocao, o que explica a singularidade e a criacao humana apesar da determinacao social. Para demonstrar essas ideias, Pino tornou-se um garimpeiro da obra de Vigotski, aprofundando tres conceitos basilares: conversao, funcao e drama; que abarcam a totalidade e o movimento dialetico da passagem da natureza para a sociedade e sao fundamentais para compreensao da producao imaginaria, conforme ele defendia. Para ajudar nossa analise, recorremos as concepcoes de imagem, imaginacao e emocao de Espinosa, seu filosofo predileto. Procuramos demonstrar que esses conceitos permitiram a Pino reencantar o processo de desenvolvimento do humano, recuperando o que lhe fora retirado: a estetica e a liberdade.

A PSICOLOGIA SÓCIO-HISTÓRICA: UM REFERENCIAL DE ANÁLISE E SUPERAÇÃO DA DESIGUALDADE SOCIAL

Falar de psicologia sócio histórica, necessariamente remete a sua genial artífice brasileira, Silvia Lane, membro deste GT desde sua criação em 1994 até sua lastimável morte em 2006. Esta filósofa adotou a psicologia com a intenção de desideologizá-la, esforço que, segundo ela, valia a pena pelo potencial político dessa ciência, encoberto por teorias anti-historicistas e idealistas. Desde os anos 80, ela e sua equipe foram elaborando, com clareza e convicção crescentes, o projeto de um psicologia social brasileira, compromissada com a superação da exploração, perpetrada pelas particularidades históricas da luta de classes em nossa sociedade, perversamente reproduzida e encoberta por mecanismos psicossociais que excluem do conhecimento psicológico o conhecimento da realidade social.

A critical view of the 'social reinsertion' concept and its implications for the practice of psychologists in the area of mental health in the Brazilian Unified Health System (Sistema Único de Saúde).

Improving psychological practice in mental health services in the Brazilian Unified Health System (Sistema Único de Saúde) requires a critical analysis of core concepts of the psychiatric reform, such as ‘social reinsertion’. This analysis, oriented by the dialectics of exclusion/inclusion, showed that this concept is impregnated with the adaptation paradigm and asylum view which prevents its effective implantation. The results suggest it is necessary to include social aspects in the discussion of mental health, articulating it with networks of social work and recuperating the revolutionary aspects of the psychiatric reform, thus demarcating the political nature of professional practices.

A apropriação/transformação do estado atual da prática e da formação em psicologia: contra a miséria da psicologia

, mas isso ja esta muito bem feito na apresentacao de Maria Helena Patto, sua organizadora. Tampouco resumi-rei o seu conteudo. Para que serve o resumo se o texto cla-ma por ser lido?Contentar-me-ei em refletir sobre o que, em minha opiniao, constitui a grandeza do livro: transformar, a golpes analiticos, um drama humano em

Social transformation: an object appropriate to social psychology?

“Yes” is the answer to the title from a specific theoretical framework: the socio-historical psychology, which retrieves the spinozist roots of Marx, Vygotsky and Lukács. It draws from the concerns they share with Spinoza that a theory can become a practical force; not against something, but for life. It is believed that dialectical negation of neoliberalism is more than the denial of the alienated work: it is the negation of the creative activity of the worker and his power of wishing and acting in common. The article highlights the ineffectiveness of the struggle only against private alienations and those arising solely from capital, arguing that they also must turn to the power of action, to avoid reaction. It reflects on the work of the social psychologist as revolutionary practical-critical activity guided by Spinoza’s common-multitude, proposing the dialectic of singular / particular / universal as the ontological space of this activity.
