Professional perspectives in psychosocial attention to social-political violence victims

Abstract

This article is part of the results of a series of investigations on the psychosocial care device for victims of the armed conflict in Colombia.
It is oriented by the question, how are the positions assumed by professionals in psychology and social work, in the development of psychosocial
care processes within the framework of the implementation of Papsivi, in the period 2017-2018, in Valle del Cauca?
The methodological strategy included participation in case conversation meetings and conducting interviews with professionals from said program.
In the analysis, emphasis was placed on two categories: interpretations of the strategy and professional actions in the psychosocial care processes.
In the results, it is highlighted that professional positions emerge as a variable-indeterminate result of the complex combination between a prescribed strategy,
the subjective interpretations of said prescriptions, and the actions performed in relationships with the recipients of an intervention program.
In the context of psychosocial care, within the Papsivi framework, the professionals express interpretations around the appropriation of the strategy's objectives,
the considerations about the ideal of rehabilitation and the use of the methodological guidelines.
In its beginnings, principles such as: contribute to the recognition of emotional-psychological aspects, through listening practices aimed at making the subjects say the unsaid,
fulfilling a function of emotional emptying that favors the realization of their resources and contributions to the construction of new senses.
