Politicized therapeutic approaches refer to psychotherapy practices that aim to empower individuals and communities to take action against social and political injustices that may be contributing to their mental health problems.
This type of therapy recognizes the influence of social, economic, and political factors on individual and collective well-being and seeks to address these issues as part of the therapeutic process. The politicized therapeutic approach emphasizes the importance of social justice, equality, and community building, and it is often associated with critical and feminist theories.
In the Brazilian context, politicized therapeutic approaches aim to empower young people to become agents of social change and to challenge the structural inequalities and injustices that affect their lives. The article argues that the coexistence of biomedical practices alongside politicized therapeutic approaches in Brazil reflects the complex and multifaceted nature of mental health interventions in a specific social and cultural context.
