Relações raciais e significados da subjetividade na perspectiva da Psicologia Clínica

Abstract

This dissertation proposes to carry out an anthropological analysis on the meanings associated with the subjective construction of black subjects, based on the assumption made by the clinical psychology of thought that includes racism as structural violence in society and a producer of psychological suffering. To do it, three clinical psychologists who develop psychology projects aimed at the black population were interviewed, through which they defend that the black subject is inserted in a specific subjective construction process, marked by the experience of racism. Based on the questions presented by the interlocutors, I analyze the elements that these professionals attribute to black subjectivity and what this category has produced as a social practice in the experience with psychological clinic. The contents provided by clinical psychologists indicate that the construction of a language for the production of links with the public-subject, the theoretical disputes around the meanings of subjectivity and the questioning about the universalization of the subject of Psychology subsidize the discussion. It suggests that the black subjectivity category operates in the reorganization of knowledge, senses and practices in the Psychology.
