Produção De Conhecimento, Perspectivas E Referências Teórico-Práticas Na Terapia Ocupacional Brasileira: Marcos E Tendências Em Uma Linha Do Tempo

Abstract

Throughout its history, occupational therapy in Brazil has been incorporating and modifying theoretical-methodological perspectives and theoretical-practical references in consonance with historical, social and political contexts. Academic and professional production has been an important tool for spreading new references to the profession. This article aims to present and discuss the emergence of theoretical-methodological perspectives and theoretical-practical references by the Brazilian occupational therapy, from 1956 to 2017, according to historical, social and political milestones, based on indexed national journals of the area and gray literature for the years before their creation. This is a theoretical research on the historical-epistemological foundations of occupational therapy. We mapped and analyzed the production to identify trends and regularities, and thus present a systematic proposal of incorporation of perspectives and references in the area. This study identified four main movements: (i) Constitution of the first theoretical-practical bases of occupational therapy in Brazil; (ii) Problematization of the knowledge and practices of occupational therapy, based on contributions from Collective Health and Human and Social Sciences; (iii) Constitution of the fields of knowledge and practice of occupational therapy through socio-political contextualization, theoretical-conceptual problematization and proposition of emancipatory practices; (iv) Intense theoretical-conceptual and methodological diversification in the production of occupational therapy knowledge and practices. Panoramic studies on academic and professional production are necessary for the epistemological reflection of the profession. The study identified the emergence of critical thinking in Brazilian occupational therapy at the end of the 1970s, and the continuity of practices, knowledge perspectives and references previously presented.

Participação social em terapia ocupacional: sobre o que estamos falando?

“…The potency is revealed through the theoretical-conceptual and methodological diversification that produces a critical occupational therapy and involved with the construction of transformative and emancipatory practices. On the other hand, fragility is the scarce conceptual, and methodological coherence and the [...] risk of an insufficient discernment of the foundations used, producing a disordered mixture of concepts, theoretical contributions and production of practices (GALHEIGO et al, 2018, p. 734). This systematic review reaffirms the considerations of Córdoba (2011) and Galheigo et al (2018). When reading the texts used as a reference by the researchers, they have chosen one or several concepts that build a multiplicity and theoretical-conceptual and practical particularity.…”

“…Thus, contemporary production in occupational therapy is marked by the coexistence of various perspectives and languages, which produce different occupational therapies in Brazil. This diversity can demarcate, at the same time, power and fragility for the area (GALHEIGO et al, 2018).…”

“…Research elaborated by Galheigo et al (2018) regarding the historical-epistemological foundations of occupational therapy in Brazil, the epistemological positioning was reaffirm, that is, the incorporation and/or substitution of different theoretical-methodological references, the consequent production of knowledge and practices and the insertion in new fields they are related to the historical, political and social landmarks of the country.…”

Diálogos com Benetton e Latour: possibilidades de compreensão da inserção social

“…The terms social insertion and participation have been gaining space in recent discussions of Brazilian occupational therapy. Although, since the 1970s, this idea has been gestated as critical to a functionalist perspective, a perspective of adapting people to society (Galheigo et al, 2018). Such criticism bases the practice centered on the desire that the people with whom occupational therapy works and through this work can participate in a less unequal society (objectively and subjectively).…”

Mestrado profissional em terapia ocupacional na Universidade de São Paulo: apostando na força dos processos coletivos

“…Esses temas também serão tratados em um conjunto de disciplinas obrigatórias e optativas, sendo parte dela conectada aos objetos de estudo que integram as linhas de pesquisa. Outras abordarão métodos e processos de pesquisa, em percursos reflexivos que visam contribuir com a ampliação e disseminação dos saberes da terapia ocupacional (MONZELI et al, 2018) e sua multiplicidade (GALHEIGO et al, 2018).…”
