Light on the excluded: psychosocial interventions from the principle of mercy
Keywords:
critical realism, social intervention, principle of mercy, Social PsychologyAbstract
This essay aims to draw a logical line between different classical approaches to Social Psychology, among which the critical realism of Ignacio Martin Baró and the different modern authors who address the issue of effective and emancipatory social intervention of peoples from pain stand out. of those who suffer and for those who live the realities of our wounded Latin America, who seek to break with those patterns of intervention based on welfare or on the idea of the "other" as incapable, vulnerable and different from "us". As a novel proposal, it concludes with the idea of generating psychosocial interventions focused on the search for the humanization of the excluded, not simply treating them as if they were incapable of changing their own realities, but seeking that they reach their maximum potential for change from their own individual potentialities.
