Abstract

FREITAS, Maria de Fátima Quintal de. Ethic challenges in community pratices (un)meeting between research and intervention: (des)encuentros entre la investigación y la intervención. Pesqui. prát. psicossociais [online]. 2015, vol.10, n.2, pp.242-253. ISSN 1809-8908.

This paper analyzes the relationships between the processes of investigation and intervention in the community field, emphasizing two central questions: (a) whether the investigation (research) should lead to actions that are also committed to reality and social change; and (b) whether the community intervention process generates socially relevant knowledge. For that, the paper proceeds to a reflection on the dilemmas and ethical challenges that are present in the community practices: (a) related to methodological requirements and to the requirements of knowledge production; (b) linked to the "daily and historical sensitivity". It asks whether the psychosocial intervention captures the processes of participation and awareness acquisition. It ends with an exhibit of significant aspects to the methodological and political congruence between intervention and psychosocial research in community, from the perspective of the Latin American Social Community Psychology.

Keywords : research-intervention in Community Social Psychology; ethics and community practices; professional-community relationship.
