Reflexões sobre um atuar clínico na perspectiva histórico-cultural

Abstract

Ethnic-racial relations are an important part of the history of Brazilian culture. In this sense, the perspective of cultural-historical psychology shows that these factors influence how subjects develop and relate to themselves, others and culture. The aim of this paper is to discuss and think critically about the narratives of my experience in the children's clinic as a black trainee treating a black child. To do this, I used the methodology of narrative research as a way of reflecting on my clinical practice, with the central aspect being the fact that I am a racialized subject. During this reflective process, it was possible to observe how racial experiences made up the therapeutic processes that were taking place. Thus, there was an attempt to create possibilities for thinking about a clinic with racialized children.
