The specialized literature points out that because black gay men are the target of racism and homophobia, their mental health situation suffers significant damage, which manifests itself in their conduct in the most diverse forms. On the other hand, black gay men have built strategies to deal with the repercussions of racism and homophobia, including healing processes, which are technologies of self-care and inter-care within the black community. Despite this, it is well known that racism and homophobia produce an effect of non-recognition in the other, which disempowers the ancestral care processes of black gay men for themselves and for each other. In this sense, it is believed that psychotherapeutic intervention, more specifically the Cultural-Historical Clinic, can be an alternative to the depotentialization of the healing processes of black gay men in the face of their colonial wounds, given that the Cultural-Historical Clinic is a therapy that diverges from the idea of the universal human being, present in traditional approaches to psychology. Considering this context, the general aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the Cultural-Historical Clinic and healing processes in black Brazilian gay men. Specifically, it seeks to: I) describe the approximations and distancing between the Cultural-Historical Clinic and the healing processes of black Brazilian gay men; II) understand the possibilities and limits of the Cultural-Historical Clinic for acting on the colonial wounds of black Brazilian gay men; III) analyze the narratives of black Brazilian gay men about their colonial wounds; IV) propose the cultural-historical clinical intervention based on the healing processes of black Brazilian gay men; and V) evaluate the cultural-historical clinical intervention based on the healing processes of black Brazilian gay men. This study is eminently qualitative, more specifically of the action-research type, with complementary descriptive statistics. In order to build the corpus and meet the research objectives, the following tools will be used: I) Autoethnography; II) Field Diary; III) Online psychotherapeutic sessions in the Cultural-Historical Clinic; IV) Self Report Questionnaire (SQR 20); and V) Affective Map Generator Instrument (IGMA). The meanings of the research will be interpreted based on Discourse Analysis and Cultural-Historical Psychology, using ATLAS.ti software version 8. The first study indicated that the developmental experience of black gay men in Brazil is marked by colonial wounds of racism and homophobia, which become incorporated into the individual's personality, producing psychological illness. Building on this scenario, the investigations carried out in the second study pointed out that historical-cultural clinical psychology can constitute a contextualized work approach, helping us to overcome the inaccuracy of traditional, white, and Western categories such as mental health. Subsequently, the third study made the necessary theoretical and epistemological connections between historical-cultural clinical psychology and clinical approaches to working with black and LGBT+ people, showing that Historical-Cultural Psychology, due to its historical and epistemological roots, is appropriate for working with black gay Brazilian men, after all, it is disconnected from the idealism and mechanism present in bourgeois psychologies. In the fourth study, we analyzed the narratives of black gay men and identified that, although the psychological development process of this population is marked by the social inequalities of racism and homophobia, there is room for healing processes, which are connected to community strengthening and emotional development. In the fifth study, it indicated that the historical-cultural clinical model is effective for mediating and strengthening healing processes in black gay Brazilian men, indicating that the proposed theoretical model needed to be revised and expanded and that intervention and clinical management strategies from a historical-cultural perspective are effective for promoting psychological health in black gay Brazilian men who suffer from the psychological repercussions of racism and homophobia. Finally, the research contributed to strengthening a central thesis, namely: from a historical-cultural perspective based on the healing processes of black gay men, healing is the dialectical integration of self-care and mutual care practices taking place in the territory and based both on the availability of healthy mediating resources for psychological development and on the construction of strategies for confronting homophobia and racism.

This proposition makes use of the dialogue between the identitymetamorphosis- emancipation syntagm proposed by Antonio da Costa Ciampa and the nuances related to recognition presented by Aluísio Lima in his proposition of a theory of identity-metamorphosis-recognition based on Ciampa's discussions and its articulation with contemporary critical theory. Furthermore, it takes as its point of articulation cultural, postcolonial, decolonial, and what I define as anti-colonial studies, which are studies produced in Brazil about Brazil, with an emphasis on the reality of the Northeast. Considering that identities are constructed from a lack and consequent need for self-affirmation and social recognition, Black identities in the colonial context (the only possible space to consider race as a social marker) end up being created and defined by the fixed point of whiteness, since the search for recognition by the Black population is their demand. That is, whiteness founds the Black being while simultaneously preventing it from being anything else, making it necessary for Black people to assert themselves as such in order to exist, choosing a kind of ideal of Blackness that does not encompass the majority of Black people in Brazil. Beyond theoretical discussions on identity, I also offer reflections on our colonial process, the construction of the myth of Brazilian cordiality and racial democracy, as well as the ideal of whitening, articulating these issues with the discourses of people constructing a possible Black racial identity, pointing out the process, obstacles, and issues raised. These discourses were recorded in group activities on interracial coexistence, composed of university students in the Zona da Mata region of Pernambuco, and in research on the relevance of peer recognition of Blackness for positive identity formation.

My central argument is that the aesthetic and literary works of indigenous authors operate as a territory capable of enabling an understanding of the indigenous revival today. Inspired by indigenous dances, such as Toré, and the vibrant sound of the maraca, I propose the creation of a “Dance of Knowledge,” which constitutes the epistemological, methodological, ethical, and political dimension of this thesis. This perspective calls for a mode of knowledge production in dialogue with indigenous peoples. By invoking dance, I seek to break with the linearity and rigidity that mark academic writing, creating possibilities for an implicated writing, rooted in ancestry, in (re)existence, and in the multiple voices that traverse this work. To research, here, is to dance with ancestral knowledge, allowing its songs to traverse the body, the sound of the maraca to lull the listener, and circularities to guide the steps of resumption. From this perspective, the aesthetic and literary works of indigenous authors, such as “Metade Cara, Metade Máscara” (Half Face, Half Mask) (2018), by Eliane Potiguara; “Guerreiras – mulheres indígenas na cidade, mulheres indígenas da aldeia” (Warriors – Indigenous Women in the City, Indigenous Women in the Village) (2020), by Aline Rochedo Pachamama; “Eu sou macuxi e outras histórias” (I am Macuxi and other stories) (2019), by Trudruá Dorrico; Ay Kakyri Tama – Eu Moro Na Cidade (Ay Kakyri Tama – I Live in the City) (2020) and O lugar do saber ancestral (The Place of Ancestral Knowledge) (2021), by Márcia Wayna Kambeba, mark the rhythms and beats that intertwined the voices, listening, and movements of this dance. This intertwining resulted in the creation of a course entitled “Contemporary Brazilian Indigenous Literature: History, Dialogues, and Experiences,” conceived as a space for reflection, articulation, and experimentation around the processes investigated. Held in partnership with UFC and UFDPar as a university extension program, the course took place from July 9 to August 27, 2021, totaling eight meetings via Google Meet. Undergraduate and graduate students in psychology and related fields, members of the indigenous movement, and education professionals from various Brazilian states participated. From this, four movements stand out: a) reconnection with family history; b) immersion in ancestral memories; c) exaltation of the land, spiritualities, and indigenous ways of life; d) invocation of ancestral strength. This implies understanding that the processes of indigenous revival are neither linear nor one-dimensional, but flow in movements that are renewed and strengthened with each new element, marker, and experience. Thus, this thesis aims to offer an analytical key to understanding the processes of indigenous resurgence underway in Brazil, as well as to propose a research experience that moves like a dance, intertwining literature, ancestry, and cosmologies, and, at the same time, contribute to research policy by strengthening ethical, collaborative, and decolonizing practices, guiding psychologists and researchers to work with individuals and collectives in recovery, respecting their diverse contexts, realities, and experiences.

PHC is responsible for providing healthcare within the territory, ensuring access without any exclusion on the basis of gender, race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, or gender identity. Nevertheless, the cisheteronormative matrix— that operates according to cisgender and heterosexual norms—constitutes the everyday practices of SUS. Against this backdrop, the research was guided by the following central question: what challenges and possibilities regarding healthcare for the LGBTQIA+ population are encountered in SUS’s primary care? The primary objective of this doctoral research was to analyze the challenges and possibilities concerning healthcare for the LGBTQIA+ population in SUS’s PHC. The specific objectives were: (i) to examine the experiences of LGBTQIA+ individuals seeking healthcare in PHC; (ii) to discuss the health needs of the LGBTQIA+ population and their articulations with the National Policy for Comprehensive Health of Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals, Travestis, and Transsexuals (PNSILGBT); and (iii) to reflect on the impacts of PHC experiences on the health of LGBTQIA+ people, considering strategies for confronting the difficulties and challenges reported by participants, while engaging with the perspectives of both LGBTQIA+ individuals and PHC professionals. Methodologically, the study adopted a qualitative approach aligned with intervention research, grounded in subaltern feminist frameworks such as Black feminism and transfeminisms. The empirical field was constructed from the trajectories and experiences of LGBTQIA+ individuals in PHC in São Gonçalo do Amarante (Ceará, Brazil), as well as professionals working in primary care in the same municipality. Data collection involved semistructured interviews with ten (10) LGBTQIA+ individuals and a workshop with twenty-three (23) PHC professionals. The analysis articulated Psychology and gender studies with the field of collective health, dissident sexualities, cisheteronormativity, and intersectionality. Findingsreveal the presence of multiple expressions of LGBTQIA+phobia within PHC, including lack of welcoming, invisibilization of sexual orientations and/or gender identities, disrespect for social name and pronoun usage, and the persistent association of LGBTQIA+ people with HIV/AIDS. The main health demands identified included sexual and reproductive health, mental health, and issues related to gender transition processes. With regard to strategies for confronting LGBTQIA+phobia in PHC and addressing the challenges identified, the study highlights the importance of continuous professional education and training, guaranteed access and welcoming practices in Basic Health Units (UBS), effective implementation of the PNSILGBT, and educational initiatives in diferente spaces. The study concludes that health practices remain strongly structured by cisheteronormativity, which underscores the urgent need to challenge and transform the field of collective health. It is essential to dismantle practices of neglect toward LGBTQIA+ users, to create fissures in the everyday reproduction of cisheteronormativity within PHC, and to advance the effective realization of SUS principles in the care provided to this population.
