A patologização da diversidade sexual: Homofobia no discurso de clínicos

Apresenta‑se e analisa‑se posicionamentos de técnicos de saúde mental disseminados por diversos modelos de leitura ainda ancorados no paradigma patológico da homossexualidade. O material exposto neste artigo é resultado de uma análise feita a discursos produzidos em grupos de discussão, organizados para efeitos de investigação, e formados quer por clínicos (psiquiatras e psicólogos), quer por gays e lésbicas que passaram por processos de acompanhamento terapêutico (por razões múltiplas e não apenas por questões ligadas à homossexualidade).Os níveis de homofobia e heterossexismo ainda existentes no contexto clínico português revelam quer a cumplicidade com modelos de formação não questionados, quer a dificuldade com que gays e lésbicas podem confrontar‑se num processo que perpetua, senão mesmo amplia, a discriminação social de que são alvo.The author presents and analyzes the attitudes of mental health practitioners whose models of reading are still based on the pathological paradigm of homosexuality. The material presented in this paper is the result of an analysis of discourses produced within discussion groups (organized for research purposes) that included psychiatrists and psychologists as well as gays and lesbians who had gone through processes of therapeutic treatment (for a number of reasons, and not only because of issues related to homosexuality). The levels of homophobia and heterosexism that continue to subsist in the Portuguese clinical context reveal both compliance with unquestioned models of training, and the difficulty that gays and lesbians may face in a process that perpetuates – and may even increase – the social discrimination that affects them.Cette recherche présente et analyse les positionnements des techniciens de la santé mentale, disséminés en divers modèles de lecture encore ancrés dans le paradigme pathologique de l’homosexualité. Les données présentées dans cet article sont le résultat d’une analyse des discours produits chez les groupes de discussion, organisés pour la recherche et formés soit par les cliniques (psychiatres et psychologues), soit par les gays et les lesbiennes qui reçoivent des accompagnements thérapeutiques (pour de multiples raisons et non seulement pour des questions liées à l’homosexualité). Les niveaux d’homophobie et d’hétéro-sexisme encore existants dans le contexte clinique portugais révèlent soit leur complicité avec des modèles de formation qui n’ont pas été reconnus comme périmés, soit la difficulté auxquelles peuvent se heurter les gays et les lesbiennes dans un processus qui perpétue, sinon amplifie, la discrimination sociale dont ils sont le cible

The effectiveness of the EMPoWER project and intervention: Psychodrama and the elaboration of domestic violence in Italy, Austria, Bulgaria, Portugal, Romania, and Albania

The chapter discusses the results of the Daphne Project WMPoWER. It showes a high validity of the research instruments used in the study. Moreover, the results obtained from the various samples of the different tests are positioned below the thresholds established by previous studies of validation. The results confirm the hypothesized model, showing positive correlations between indices of spontaneity and psychological well-being. The research supports the idea that both models (psychodramatic and psychosocial/ecological) contribute to strengthening the empowerment of women who suffer from domestic violence. The results obtained by the project are highly positive and confirm that this model of intervention should be extended, possibly prolonging the intervention and also measuring the follow-up after one year
