Abstract

; TEIXEIRA, Luciana Barcellos  and  POSSA, Lisiane Böer. Experience and (de)identification when facing inequalities and prejudices, according to community health agents' view. Psicol. rev. (Belo Horizonte) [online]. 2019, vol.25, n.2, pp.874-890. ISSN 1677-1168.  https://doi.org/10.5752/P.1678-9563.2019v25n2p891-908.

This article discusses thematizations about prejudice in health workers’ discourses, who attended the project "Caminhos do Cuidado" (The Ways of Care), identifying effects that contributed to overcoming these relationships in relation to users of alcohol and other drugs. We applied qualitative methodology with content analysis. The analysis was based on data from 78 conversation meetings and 39 ethnographic records, which occurred in all 27 States of Brazil. The data describe the workers’ reflexive movements that allowed the framing of identity relations beyond moral screens and the essentialization of the subjects. Our results point to the importance of experience for the deconstruction of stereotypes and prejudices, as it produces the de-identification processes necessary to overcome prejudices. We highlighted the importance of the community health agent, as the strategic professional to work with the theme of prejudice in the approached places.

Keywords : Inequality; Preconception; Primary care; Psychosocial intervention; Community health agents.
