Praxis y ética en Psicología Comunitaria: Representaciones Sociales de Usuarias y Usuarios de Programas Comunitarios en la Región Metropolitana

chilean community psychology has undergone an evolution that has positioned it as a reference in the institutional practices of psychosocial intervention. this has involved the standardization of interventions, resulting in the abandonment of some of the founding precepts of the discipline, in a context lacking ethical indications for the field. as a way of outlining the current disciplinary practices and their ethical implications, social representations of professional practice between clients of government and ngo social programs were investigated, through the realization of 4 participatory interviews with 32 clients. discourse analysis tools were used. the results show a strong appreciation of the relationship between client and professional, a progressive strengthening from individual work, professional dependence, and a series of correct and incorrect actions as perceived by the client.
