Psychology and regimes of truth in health promotion practices

Abstract

The present study focuses on the actions for health promotion produced by Psychology in the health care network as described in scientific journals for both the implantation and implementation of the National Health Promotion Policy. The journals, as well as the Declaration of Alma-Ata, the Ottawa Charter and the Resolution 687/06 itself, constitute the analyzed materials. The conceptual tools of this analysis are grounded on Foucauldian discussions about the regimes of truth and subjectivation policies. The discussions consider the psychological practices in primary health care as a field of experience that constitutes the group figure shaped through testimony and learning as technologies of government of both the self and the other.
