A interface da psicologia com a surdez: uma revisão sistemática

Abstract

Lack of understanding of the cultural and linguistic differences of people who present deafness as a body brand may be a barrier to psychologists and health research teams working with this population. This article reviews national and international journals in order to characterize the current situation of psychotherapeutic care for the deaf and its context. Following the PRISMA methodology We present the result of a search done in journals indexed in the SciELO and PUBmed databases in the period from 2006 to 2016. The main results indicate that the socio-anthropological concept of deafness prevails over the medical-clinical model, that the themes of major interest are language and language, cognitive development and family relationships. Most of the studies found in the review period of this review range from the fusion between thought, discourse and its cultural outcome in one extreme, to a separation and segregation of both, in the other. The need to expand scientific production in the area is discussed.
