Uma cartografia das encruzilhadas da psicologia na socioeducação

Abstract

This research focuses on the practices of psychologists at the “Departamento Geral de Ações Socioeducativas”, the institution responsible for carrying out socio-educational measures in enclosed environments in Rio de Janeiro. Although the Socio-education subject has been present in several pieces of research so far, there are some lacunas in the literature regarding the specifications of Psychology in this context, compared with the fact that discussions around the effectiveness of public policies according to legislation, criminal age, and the phenomenon of urban violence are being privileged. The objective is to map the different psi-practices related to committal and semi-liberty measures context, such as in provisory committal (precaution), and the various "force plan" methods that concern professional performance in these spaces. Cartography is a theoretical and methodological foundation that allows people to pursue this "set of forces" as something considered dynamic and procedural. The first point of investigation derives from the question: What versions of socio-education are experienced by psychologists who work in deprivation of liberty? Numerous challenges are present in the accumulation of shared experiences by professionals. Beginning with the emptiness of socio-educational meanings and the chance on the logic of (in)security, which is based on a preserving policy of the order that accompanies the institutional routine. A range of expectations, interferences, and disqualifications made by the various parts that compose the socio-educational system, try to reduce the role of psychologists to mere report makers and pointless.Facing the real challenges that are current in professional practice, Psychology shows its strength through attentive listening to the subjectivities that are being comprised, in providing comfort to the distinctiveness that is produced in most encounters, in caring for adolescents, families, and groups of people, based on the perspective of guaranteeing rights and on the commitment to assure life in all its intensity.
