Abstract: Estudos de Psicologia I Campinas I 32(3) I 533-545 I julho -setembro 2015 AbstractBased on Critical Psychology from the Standpoint of the Subject the article describes analytical concerns and strategies of critical psychology. In a first step, the development of critical psychologies is located in current discussions on the production of knowledge, and three different typical approaches and major steps toward situated critique as a practice of mutual recognition are delineated. This shift, it is argued, has l… Show more

“…We explore how they engage in agency to promote more positive self-identification, conceptualised as recognition struggles in relation to the unemployment system. An integrated theory of human subjectivity, critical psychology sets out to capture the complexity and conflictual understanding of everyday living (Sieland, forthcoming , p. 145; Schraube, 2013 , 2015 , 2016 ). It underlines the dual possibilities of action, as individuals must constantly decide between ‘expanding possibilities in order to reach longer-term pursuits or acting under given possibilities and restricting pursuits of longer-term interests’ (Sieland, forthcoming , p. 97).…”

“…The first refers to perceived possibilities, limitations and motivations for action, as individuals have reasons to both challenge certain conditions in order to further their interests, or to accommodate and reproduce the given possibilities, e.g. if the risk of conflict with power might undermine long-term interests (Schraube, 2015 , p. 541): ‘The restrictive aspect refers to a narrowing in of engagements followed by created or extended suffering or conflict in our living’ (Sieland, forthcoming , p. 135). It also refers to being stuck or trapped and generally means that conflictual circumstances are upheld and not transgressed.…”

“…Yet, such ideas have not sufficiently theorized the constitutive social dimension in human subjectivity, because they have not been able to articulate the role of agency when it comes to the structural premises of human action (Holzkamp, 1983). A first step is taken in suggesting the development of the concept of sociosubjectivity, which is not only a concept but already entails a theory (see also Schraube, 2015). One could also develop concepts such as sociointentionality , which suggest that mental phenomena make reference to “objects” that have sociohistorical meaning.…”

“…Diante disso, os espaços de formação que incluem a leitura crítica da realidade como exigência básica para o exercício profissional, em uma relação dialética com fundamentos teóricos da prática, acabam por contribuir para a consolidação de outros modelos de formação profissional os quais permitem sempre o questionamento e a proposição de novas ações. Supervisionar uma prática não trata apenas de ensinar a aplicar técnicas do trabalho profissional, mas, mais do que tudo, a permitir que estagiários consigam ler a realidade para além da aparência e que possam, por meio de estratégias analíticas, tal como nos aponta Schraube (2015), integrar teorias e realidade, para assim questioná-las e modificá-las.…”
