KEY WORDS:

PAGES: 110
BIG AREA: Ciências Humanas
AREA: Psicologia
SUMMARY:

This master's research analyzes the psychotherapeutic potential of indigenous narratives, an
integral part of the cultural diversity of the two native peoples that inhabit the Brazilian territory. This is a
qualitative research, carried out with three psychologists, through a semi-structured interview. The data
are organized and analyzed by means of the Thematic Content Analysis method. In spite of the
singularities of the participants and their praxis, it is confirmed as a unit or movement of questioning of
traditional praxis, hegemonic in psychology, so that the incorporation of indigenous histories - and, in
extension, of indigenous cosmologies - can contribute to indigenize psychology, making it more congenial
with the concrete reality in which it was produced (and produced). The indigenous cosmologies have the
potential to broaden our perception, offering the indigenous a symbolic place in our historical, objective-
subjective conformation, so that, not in the future, we can bear witness to their unreal irruption of our
society. They also have the potential to get closer to the environment that surrounds us, building affective
bonds with the fauna, flora, rivers and stars of our territory. Likewise, narrating stories orally can be
configured as a practice that is oriented towards the decolonization of psychology, insofar as it promotes
or strengthens two social ties and the cultivation of imagination and life through a counter-hegemonic
path.
