ARAUJO, Andressa Araújo de  and  SILVA, Joilson Pereira da. Deafness and prejudice: reviewing the scientific production. Psicol. rev. (Belo Horizonte) [online]. 2020, vol.26, n.2, pp. 737-759. ISSN 1677-1168.  http://dx.doi.org/10.5752/P.1678-9563.2020v26n2p737-759.

This study aimed to understand how deafness and prejudice have been investigated in Brazilian scientific literature. To that end, a review was carried out in the periodicals, more specifically in the Scielo and Pepsic website databases, from January 2006 to December 2016, in a total of fifteen articles were analyzed. The results and the discussion are about bibliometric and content analysis. It Is realized that the majority of the works are qualitative. Although the socio-anthropological view has gained ground, the therapeutic clinical view is still present, and, because of this, prejudices, humiliations and discrimination are felt by the deaf, who do not meet the standard of normality imposed by the majority, the listeners. It can be concluded that there is a long way to go for family members, professionals, and researchers to develop the theme and raise awareness of the population, to mitigate the prejudice that still exists.

Keywords : Exclusion; Hearing disability; Discrimination; Prejudice; Deafness.
