Memória e Identidade: o (s) sentido (s) da humanização da saúde no discurso de professores de psicologia

Abstract

Our work aims to perform an interpretative and analytic study about which values, principles and directions emerge from the discourse of health humanization of Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS) and how these ideas appear in the Psychology professors’ discourses. Altogether, fourteen teachers from Federal University of Ceará (Universidade Federal do Ceará), Ceará State University (Universidade Estadual do Ceará), and University of Fortaleza (Universidade de Fortaleza) were interviewed. However, only thirteen interviews were analyzed. Our study is based on the concepts of the French Discourse Analysis theory, such as the concepts of discourse, discursive formation, discursive memory, disciplinary power, and identity, demonstrating that the linguistic dimension is articulated to the discourse in a social-historical way. We utilized the clinical interview methodology (MAIA-VASCONCELOS, 2005) to trigger a narrative of the college graduation and pedagogical practice of each professor. We intend, from the analysis of a discursive practice, this is, the one that takes place during the psychologist’s college graduation, to verify which meaning or meanings involving the theme of health humanization are being constituted, and the relevance of them to the identity and praxis of this professional. The results demonstrate that, in general, professors’ discourses show agreement with the principles and directions of health humanization policy and that the identity of this professional is changing in order to adequate to the work market and to the current reality of the Brazilian society
