Abstract

SANTOS, Gabriella da Cruz  and  RICCI, Éllen Cristina. Mental health of the black population: report of a therapeutic relationship between people marked by racism. Rev. Psicol. UNESP [online]. 2020, vol.19, n.spe, pp.220-241. ISSN 1984-9044.  https://doi.org/10.5935/1984-9044.20200021.

This work has the proposal to report an occupational therapeutic process, highlighting the potential of racial representativeness in mental health care relationships. We sought to discuss the construction of racism in Brazil; the importance of professional training to care for this demand; the recognition and empowerment of black people; the understanding of occupational therapy about the individual, his illness and human activities; and intervention strategies aimed at the specificities of the mental health of the black population. From this experience, it was possible for the user to actively participate in his life choices and projects, meaning and transposing into his daily life, experiences lived in the therapeutic setting, allowing the experimentation of new ways of being, doing and being in the social.

Keywords : racism; mental health; occupational therapy; racial identity.
