Abstract

Since its birth, psychology has been questioned by the relationship between the body and the mind, which is related to the division into approaches, paradigms and epistemologies, thus generating different objects of study. Thus, in the intervention and evaluation of the phenomenon of sexual abuse, different psychological concepts are taken into account, without the need to include the body as one of these, although the situation falls on it and the proposals favor a comprehensive approach; The body is then seen in a historical and philosophical way, until reaching the different perspectives of the psychological discipline today. In this way, this research aims to investigate how psychology professionals understand the body in the phenomenon of sexual abuse, which will be developed through a qualitative methodology of social phenomenological order, having as a strategy of information collection the semi-structured interview to five psychologists specialized in areas of discipline, about experiences and meanings about sexual abuse, body and mind, to then perform the interpretation of the data through a critical discourse analysis; And, what has been the historical relationship between mind and body, this will be developed through a brief documentary review. One of the most relevant results states that the gap between body and mind is still wide, and this can be influenced from professional training.
