Psicoanálisis e intervención social

This paper presents some reflections on the contributions of the psychoanalytic approach to the field of social interventions with the aim of locating those points in which psychoanalysis presents itself as a relevant discipline for taking action in response to contemporary social issues. These reflections are the result of a number of experiences coordinating psychosocial intervention groups and are linked to programs dedicated to holistic care and the re-establishing of rights to populations affected by the armed conflict in Colombia.
