-The aim of this study was to analyze the perception, beliefs and knowledge of mental health professionals about violence against women and public policies related to this issue. To accomplish this objective, 12 interviews were carried out. Based on data analysis, five themes were proposed: "perception of demands presented by women and men", "experience in providing care to women victims of violence", "link between violence and mental health", "knowledge about the Maria da Penha Law and women-centered public policies", "(Lack of) knowledge about the compulsory notification of violence against women". Professionals had difficulties dealing with these themes, especially related to addressing and notifying violence. Their practices are based on their intuition rather than on theoretical and practical knowledge.Keywords: violence against women, mental health, health professionals (In)visibilidade da violência contra as mulheres na saúde mental RESUMO -O objetivo deste estudo foi realizar um levantamento acerca da percepção, crenças e conhecimentos sobre violência contra as mulheres e políticas públicas em profissionais de saúde mental. Foram realizadas 12 entrevistas e, a partir da análise de seus conteúdos, foram criadas cinco categorias: "percepção das demandas apresentadas por homens e mulheres", "experiência no atendimento a mulheres que sofreram violência", "relação entre violência e saúde mental", "conhecimento sobre a Lei Maria da Penha e políticas públicas para as mulheres" e "(des)conhecimento da notificação compulsória da violência contra as mulheres". Os profissionais apresentaram dificuldade para lidar com o tema, principalmente relacionada à notificação da violência e ao encaminhamento do caso. A atuação é baseada na intuição e não em conhecimentos teórico práticos.Palavras-chave: violência contra mulher, saúde mental, profissionais da saúde

“…An equivalent trajectory occurs in educational research too, with warnings not to perform that very instrumentalisation and regulation of the neoliberal subject via its analysis, such that resistant affects and subjectivities are overlooked (Nairn and Higgins 2007). As I have noted, social geography discussions appear to be moving in similar directions -including also attending to the rise of (what I call) neuro-nonsense that is currently gripping social policy (Pykett 2012a(Pykett , 2012cDe Vos 2014), and threatening to reinstate old gender, class and racialised essentialisms in the name of early intervention to protect the vulnerable brain circuitry of small children (e.g. Leadsom et al 2012; as critiqued by Edwards, Gillies, and Horsley 2013).…”

“…Further, such ambiguity has made it imminently more viable within the broader, deregulated medical economy that locates the onus for well-being onto each subject, in effect diverting attention from the shortcomings of the social institutions to which the individuals are subjugated (De Vos, 2013;Kiersey, 2011). While the authority and tools of the expert health care provider may do much to encourage the concept of individual responsibility for well-being, the adoption of tools by populations for self-management is more exhaustive and cost-effective, and as a simple, supposedly universal capacity, mindfulness is well suited to the bill, as evidenced by its extensive reception in the West (Barker, 2014;Davies, 2011;Davies, 2014).…”

Psychology's own mindfulness: Ellen Langer and the social politics of scientific interest in “active noticing”

Ellen Langer's mindfulness construct is presented as “indigenous” to disciplinary psychology. Langer's early work laid the foundations for the research program she would come to call the psychology of possibility. Studying inattentive behavior (mindlessness) and intentionally reflective cognition (mindfulness) placed her work directly in line with the theoretical priorities of the 1970s and influenced the direction of research in several subdisciplines related to social cognition. Positioning Langer's work at an intersection crossed by various discourse communities in psychology explains much of its influence within the discipline. However, its relevance is additionally related to a broader field of research and application also employing the terminology of mindfulness. While superficially synonymous, the majority of mindfulness research is distinguished from Langer's due to differences in origination, definition, and goals. Comparative assessments are used as a lens through which to interrogate the social politics of mindfulness theories’ burgeoning success over the past half century.
