Intuitions on doing, reflections about every day practices in community intervention
Abstract
Community intervention has been for long a field of work for occupational therapists. On the light of reflections around socio-construccionism, Participative Action Research, popular education and feminist perspectives, the present article seeks to reflect, departing from practice, about some of the dilemmas we find in our everyday work.
The present reflections come from my professional practice in a primary health care unit where I worked for a period of five years. I was there as part of the mental health unit, and I gathered group reflections that constitute now a time and space in the reflection of these issues. Limited to my current position, I am seeking to problematize some aspects such as the use of monolithic and unifying categories in order to understand our "subject" of intervention, and, at the same time, the understanding of the notion of identity from a narrative and coherent perspective. Also I shall explore some aspects related to the subject-object relation in intervention and the ethic and political implications of those positionings, as a necessary reflection about professional expertness.
