Abstract
This work presents contributions to the role of professionals in Psychology in Differentiated Indigenous Healthcare, highlighting the theoretical-practical in-between occupied by indigenous people Guarani, Kaiowá, and Terena and demonstrating the relationship between the Public Health Politics, with its normative and disciplinary requirements, and the cosmic order, reflected in the knowledge of Health of the different social representations and subject-groups we work with. From the different ethos and styles of indigenous and non-indigenous groups and their meanings of health, we faced the complexity of this scenario-context, represented by multiculturalism/interculturalism and the relations of power and knowledge in healthcare. With this, the Psychology and other health professions are challenged to produce a Healthcare that fulfills its function and has the symbolic-material effectiveness necessary to the indigenous peoples. In this sense, the Cartography, as a methodological resource, allows us to follow the process, get into the texts and contexts of production in Indigenous Healthcare and understand the emergence of the threshold thought with the participation of indigenous knowledge and wisdom in the Healthcare. The Decolonial Psychology is an alternative, not as a new performance recipe, but as a theoretical-practical guideline that enables the coexistence of indigenous and non-indigenous knowledge in Healthcare. The supervision of traditional leaderships and the entry in the indigenous cosmology and epistemology became indispensable to the performance of Psychology, enabling new affective-intellectual and political links in Healthcare.
