Abstract

NERY, Maria da Penha  and  CONCEICAO, Maria Inês Gandolfo. Sociodrama and quota policy for african-brazilians: psychology intervention method in social subjects. Psicol. cienc. prof. [online]. 2005, vol.25, n.1, pp. 132-145. ISSN 1414-9893.

The article suggests sociodrama as a sociatric method for the actions of the psychologists when facing polemic issues, among them, the quota policy for African-Brazilians in universities. The article starts with a thought about scientific-cultural productions that assist social scientists for the social transformation. Assuming social changes through cultural and psychotherapeutic methods are based on the catharses phenomenon, the text analyses the evolution of this concept: rituals, Greek theatre, Psychoanalysis and sociodrama, which creates the idea of integration catharses. Example is given by a sociodrama of the quota system for African-descendants in the University of Brasilia, undertaken by Psychology undergraduates. The event led to a collective creation that favoured a social inclusion process and revealed the political role of the psychologist in society.

Keywords : Sociodrama; Sociatry; Quota system for African-Brazilians.
