THE PSYCHOLOGICAL PRACTICE AS A CROSSROAD TO THE BLACK DEVIR
Main Article Content
Abstract
The fallacious production of controlling images over certain social groups was the most powerful ideological weapons of coloniality. In this article, we discuss the psychosocial place of the Brazilian black man, whereas investigating the relationship between the (re)production of images of control and its relationship with the production of psychic suffering. Accordingly, we start from an examination of the clinical practice of the negritude experience as a space for questioning the images of control, while a crossroad to humanize the processes of creation and experience of existence itself. Thus, we demonstrate the need for an attentive psi practice that reinforces humanization in the face of a Brazilian reality depicting colonization practices.
