MONTEIRO, Ana Claudia Lima; LOPES, Camila Portella  and  ARAUJO, Clara Santos Henriques. Psychology insertion possibilities in working with caregivers of children with disabilities. Pesqui. prát. psicossociais [online]. 2016, vol.11, n.1, pp. 161-175. ISSN 1809-8908.

This article is about the work with the caregivers of the people with disability who attend the Adapted Swimming Program, offered in partnership with Federal Fluminense University's Physical Education Department between 2013 and 2015. From what Vinciane Despret calls a misunderstanding, we try to formulate the insertion of the psychology professional in this space. During our work we had to modify our intervention proposition a few times, initially thinking about separating the caregiver's figure from the person who is 'receiving' care. Then, we thought about an intervention made with the P.E. team. When we took care as an ongoing process, as proposed by Annemarie Mol, we could accept an intervention space that escaped the aseptic environment normally used by Psychology. This change allowed the unfold of affections and articulations that were not possible before.

Keywords : disability studies; caregivers; misunderstandings.
