Abstract
ARANGUREN-ROMERO, Juan Pablo and RUBIO-CASTRO, Natalia. A Process of Training the Survivors of the Colombian Armed Conflict on the Pacific Coast in Therapeutic Skills: Reflexivity and Self-Care. rev.estud.soc. [online]. 2018, n.66, pp.18-29. ISSN 0123-885X. https://doi.org/10.7440/res66.2018.03.
This study seeks to understand how a scientific knowledge of psychology dialogues with the knowledge of the community during a process of training in therapeutic tools for victims of the armed conflict in Buenaventura and Quibdó. To do that, we used a qualitative methodology based on semi-structured interviews and focus groups. The results show that the training process opens up a space for the victims to express their own suffering in which a sense of helping others emerges from the healing experience. Likewise, the cultural adaptation of the training tools creates the possibility of a dialogue between the knowledge of psychology and local knowledge, and encourages the active and reflective participation of the subjects.
