VASQUEZ CAMPOS, John Harold  and  MOLINA VALENCIA, Nelson. Los usos tautológicos de lo psicosocial en los procesos de intervención en Colombia. Divers.: Perspect. Psicol. [online]. 2018, vol.14, n.2, pp.309-320. ISSN 1794-9998.  https://doi.org/10.15332/s1794-9998.2018.0002.08.

The article presents a study that aimed to identify and describe discourses about psychosocial components in intervention processes in Colombia. We analyzed 98 documents, classified as: a) State documents; b) Documents by Non-Governmental Organizations; c) Theoretical Documents on Psychosocial Intervention; and d) Theoretical documents on psychosocial components. Social Psychology was assumed as a disciplinary perspective and the notion of discourse as a theoretical and methodological element. Categorical content analysis was used to obtain the categories of analysis of the documents available in scientific databases and on websites of state institutions. The results focus on the adjective category. It was found that the use of the word psychosocial as an adjective "interchangeable", configures ambiguous and unclear expressions for the understanding of the notion, creating a redundant effect on their understanding.

Keywords : Psychosocial; Intervention; Social intervention; Social construction; Tautology; Documentary study.
