Poesia & resistência: reflexões sobre a formação do psicólogo brasileiro em tempo indigente

Abstract

The present research was developed inspired by the challenges that are interposed to psychologists in Brazil, since a change was placed in it’s national project – starting with the 1988’s Constitution – which implies and demands decisively the psychologist in its practices. Therefore, we pass through the tension between what was historically established as a psychological practice and what is now desired. Going into its possibilities, we saw a potential in Psychology to get identified with an oppressive structure, in which the world usually appears. What goes against its new project. Brazilian Psychology is now demanded in an ethical and polithical engagement with brazilian society, that does not stiffen into moral rules. Thereby, the professional is required in an exercise of thinking and critical reading of reality, which is sustained in an oppen comprehension of what presents. In front of this problem, we started our path of thinking, and asked ourselves: how could we educate the professional psychologist? Is our pedagogical tradition prepared to the challenge of a critical education? Is our science, the Psychology, willing to sustain the radicality that its place requires? Face to these questions, we stand for the imperative of a radical change, so we could walk forward to the new project and identity that is wanted for brazilian Psychology. Our questions took us to the matter of how to educate? How to be or become psychologist? By insisting in these questions we developed the present research. Therefore, we made a critical recapture over the pedagogical exercise – establishing a dialogue with Paulo Freire. So we could understand that in each standing and perspective about teaching and learning it’s present a comprehension of the human being and the world. What means that in our pedagogical exercise it’s implied a certain reading and positioning in the world, and also in our relations. Therefore, our path led us into the question about what is more originary in the human being, in its way of being – here we stablished a dialogue with the philosophers Martin Heidegger and Gilvan Fogel, understanding the pertinence in their points of view, in which the human being appears as an opened being, launched in a historical world of meaning, making itself historically, what places him in a relation of copertinence with the world, in an inseparable unity. Since this comprehension, we have searched to reconstruct one possibility of education that could sustain a proper take of this relation of unity with the world. Here the proposal of our doctoral thesis presents itself, in which there is something essentially conductor in our relation with language. Therefore, being a possible way to the critical education of brazilian psychologist. Is this relation that inspires us, understanding the originary strength that is guarded in the poetical language, that, finally, appears to us as leader, as guide and master. The doctoral thesis intends to found the strength of this relation, showing what its experience can do to us, what can it open and lead. Nevertheless, this path had to be built tied up to our main objective: the thinking and the exercise of the brazilian psychologist, so that it could discover some essential elements that penetrate and compose our profession.
