A inserção da psicologia na atenção primária em saúde

Abstract

The development of the public health policy in Brazil has in its outline, a gradual overcoming of models of vertical atentions, which are aimed to developmentist perspectives, focused on the integration and planning of the actions in health. The Unified Health System (hereby SUS) is the result of the procedure of these events as well a model of expression of a popular gain. It brings in its midst the improving of the Primary Healthcare, regulated as the strengthened axis of the functioning of all health system. In the current conditions, Psychology has carved its work force, being its insertion an event problematized by the ways the practices are oriented.We situated our research in the space of these problematizations, aiming to study the Psychology Performativity, from these institutionalisations: SUS and Primary Healthcare. We based our study in the perspective of the Critical Social Psychology, associated to the approaching of the Discursive Practices and Meaning Production, which conceive knowledgment as a construction socially shared and mediated by the interactions of the daily life. We have as epistemological fundament in these approachings, the Social Constructionism. The production of the research has been carried out by the interaction with public domain documents, especially academic texts and productions. We pursued to learn with this methodology the emergency and stability of the questions that involve the insertions of the Psychology in the Primary Healthcare. We have accomplished a research in online database, stated by the descriptors: “Primary Healthcare” and “Psychology”. The analysis was performed from the provision of three historic times: the period before the regulation of the SUS, the period between the institution of the SUS, and the regulation of the Primary Healthcare Policy, in 2006, and time afterwards. The conclusion is that the circulating positions in Psychology, in this workspace, are distributed by movements of approaching and departure of the conceptions regulated by the Primary Healthcare Policy.
