Introduction to Clinical Psychosociology

The different currents that integrate clinical institutional psychosociology, in which the author's professional practice is inscribed, have the purpose of accompanying subjects and groups in the search for a better understanding of the phenomena causing their discomfort and suffering in the working environments. In the process of collective reflection promoted by the devices implemented in the field, the subjects will analyze the multiple factors that intervene in the social facts, always complex, that they relate, which will allow them to decide together and carry out the necessary transformations. This joint work of interpretation of reality gives rise to the development of conceptualizations that mean a contribution to the development of scientific knowledge. Given that from this perspective the relationship between field practice and theoretical elaboration is inseparable, the author proposes to characterize her practice as that of an intervention-research, or a research-intervention.
