SALDANHA, Marília  and  NARDI, Henrique Caetano. A feminist brazilian psychology? Highlighted, erased and peripheral position. Rev. psicol. polít. [online]. 2016, vol.16, n.35, pp.35-52. ISSN 1519-549X.

This essay searches to discuss the encounter of certain psychologies with feminist currents in a Foucauldian archegenealogical perspective and to understand what some authors meant when they describe a feminist psychology in the Brazilian academic field. To attain this objective, a non-systematic review was done in feminist magazines, in psychology scientific journals and databases. This review found 27 papers, a dissertation and a thesis. These scientific works were analyzed using the Foucaultian proposal that understand discourses in their exteriority and seeks their conditions of possibility for them to emerge. This perspective is not interested in finding the 'real' truths or designating psychologies that are truer than others, but in describing discourses as constituting psychological practices as historical constructs. In this essay we will limit our analysis to four articles, a dissertation and a thesis in order to contemplate both conceptualizations on feminist psychology and psychotherapy and there are highlighted, erased or occupy a peripheral position in the corpus of academic production.

Keywords : Feminist psychology; Gender; Feminist psychotherapy; Violence; Women.
