Psychology of the Difference, Race Relations and Psychologist’s Training

Abstract

This study presents a research report about a psychology of the difference in race relations, aiming to map the subjectivation processes of race relations in the psychologist’s training and their interface with the professional performance. We used cartography, observant participation, a culture circle, and two conversation circles for narrative production, self-reporting and writing in a cartographic diary as a research method. For the discussion and analysis, we conducted an ethical-aesthetic-poetic and political exercise, operating tools-concepts of schizoanalysis and the epistemology of decolonization. As a policy of this invention: a) the researcher becomes an analyzer/witness of the place of speech of black women who make up cartography from their representativeness; b) the presence of a small number of black women in health courses is an effect of the academy colonization; c) the ethical-political implication of the psychologist emerges as a device to confront institutional racism; and d) a smaller student movement becoming the common minority breaks with the instituted, creatively instituting discussions that open the debate about psychology in race relations and problem situations that emerge from the intersectionality device.
