Relações entre família, políticas de assistência social e vulnerabilidade social: um estudo a partir de entrevistas com mulheres usuárias do SUAS

A centralidade na família é uma das principais diretrizes adotadas pela Política Nacional de Assistência Social (PNAS) implementada por meio do Sistema Único de Assistência Social (SUAS). A noção de matricialidade sociofamiliar configura-se como base para a formulação de serviços específicos de abordagem familiar nos níveis de proteção social básica e especial, que visam o acompanhamento longitudinal de famílias em situação de vulnerabilidade social, definida neste contexto pela condição de desvantagem em decorrência da pobreza, da privação de renda e de acesso aos serviços e bens públicos, da fragilização de vínculos afetivos, relacionais e de pertencimento. Objetivou-se com esse estudo identificar como as mulheres usuárias do SUAS percebiam e definiam as vulnerabilidades do próprio núcleo familiar, assim como verificar se a concepção de vulnerabilidade social proposta pela PNAS é condizente com as problemáticas apresentadas pelas famílias usuárias do SUAS. A pesquisa qualitativa foi executada por meio de entrevistas de longa duração com temas advindos da observação participante realizada ao longo de três anos de acompanhamento de mulheres usuárias do SUAS por meio de abordagem grupal em serviço de Assistência Social do bairro do Butantã na cidade de São Paulo. Participaram do estudo oito mulheres, acima de 18 anos, usuárias do SUAS e residentes da zona oeste de São Paulo. As depoentes têm entre 35 e 51 anos de idade, estudaram entre a 5ª e a 8ª série do Ensino Fundamental II, cinco delas são migrantes, quatro vivem com os companheiros e filhos e quatro residem com os filhos em uma organização familiar monoparental, três são beneficiárias da Previdência Social, duas estão inseridas em trabalhos formais, duas em trabalhos informais e uma não trabalha. Todas relataram ter sofrido episódios de violência e violação de direitos, principalmente observados na dificuldade de acesso a serviços sociais básicos. Os depoimentos marcaram dificuldades experimentadas ao longo da vida das mulheres e a tônica dos relatos destacou as preocupações atreladas ao papel de mãe e à luta cotidiana que enfrentam para educar, orientar, sustentar e estar junto aos filhos, sobretudo daqueles que se encontram na fase da infância e da adolescência. À luz da noção de enraizamento, proposta por Simone Weil, foi possível identificar que as depoentes apresentam e enfrentam cotidianamente dificuldades ligadas ao desenraizamento urbano, elucidado especialmente na carência de participação comunitária e política. Nesse cenário, a condição de vulnerabilidade pela qual as famílias são definidas no âmbito da política de assistência social, revela certa ambiguidade, pois ao mesmo tempo em que permite oferecer a essas famílias alguma modalidade de apoio também as coloca numa posição estigmatizada de beneficiárias das políticas públicas. Com isso, considerou-se que apesar da concepção de vulnerabilidade proposta pela PNAS ser condizente com as problemáticas apresentadas pelas usuárias, verifica-se uma lacuna em relação à dimensão subjetiva da formação de cada grupo familiar e suas necessidades específicas a fim de apoiá-los para a promoção de uma mudança efetiva

O Centro de Referência da Assistência Social e a Psicanálise: efeitos de uma escuta singularizada

This paper emerged from an experience of 18 months in the CRAS – Reference Center for Social Assistance – which aroused a question about the listening of the singularity in the professional practice of Psi in the context of social assistance. The literature review revealed, on the one hand, a series of studies that aim to a discussion about of the process of professional integration of psychologists in the field of social welfare, proposing and / or analyzing practices directed towards the psychosocial assistance directed to the group and for the assurance of rights, forming citizen subjects. On the other hand, supported by a psychoanalytic perspective, we found studies that point to the importance of the singularity listening considering the subjectivity and symbolic resources of those who seek help in Basic Assistance Service. In this perspective, we aim to analyze, in a posteriori, the effects of offering a singularized listening in the context of CRAS and discuss its implications for the Psi professional practice in social institution. This is a theoretical and clinical research, based on Freudian and Lacanian psychoanalysis, in which two cases, placed as investigation boosters, are analyzed in the light of the concept of the subject. We conclude that a singularized listening allowed a significant sliding and the consequent repositioning of the subject, in each case, front to their suffering. The effects collected allowed us to affirm the importance of a singular listening in the treatment of the demands that appear within the institutional framework

O processo de inserção dos psicólogos na assistência social em Natal/RN no período de 1972-2003

Althoug, there are indications of psychologists who worked on the assistence prior this time. This insertion had not systematized in the literature, not allowing the establishment of records of this linear trajectory. The objective of this paper is investigate the entrance and a psychologist working in social care services in Natal / RN , as well as the activities undertaken by them in the period 1972-2003 . This temporal boundary is justified because Natal initiate to have a psychologist from 1972 to 2003 was immediately prior to the landmarks of the 2004/2005 year. The research was divided into two stages: documentary and oral history. The first was through the consultation of 86 monographs of the Sector Documentation Social Service Department of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte , its intend identify what were the services that characterized the health care field and evidence of the presence of psychologists in these spaces. In the second stage, interviews with psychologists who worked 13 trailers to social assistance in order to investigate its performance, activities undertaken, the insertion process in the area, among other things were done. The material analysis was based on themes from a historical perspective. The results point to three major areas of integration of psychologists : in child exceptionality in which psychologists were linked to Brazilian Legion Social Assistance (LBA); the field of the minor through the State Foundation for the Well Being of Minors (center), and occupying positions of management and coordination in some welfare programs.

Os estados no SUAS: uma análise da capacidade institucional dos governos estaduais na assistência social

This paper deals of the effects generated by institutional designs in the behavior of political actors. The literature that discusses the implications of federal arrangements in the production of public policies to dock at two opposing arguments: (1) the federal configuration would cause dispersion and variation in service provision between subnational governments; and (2) the central government would own mechanisms to induce the provision of national policies in more homogeneous levels, similar to unitary states. The research is part of this discussion because it analyzes the effects of the institutional design of the Sistema Único de Assistência Social (SUAS) in the decisions of states in Brazil. Therefore, we analyzed the institutional capacity built by the 26 state governments after the implementation of SUAS, conceiving this system as defined mechanism of government functions and federative cooperation.It is argued that the existence of a heterogeneous institutional capacity of state governments in social assistance is a result of the autonomy contained in the institutional design of SUAS to this level of government. This freedom of action relativize the idea that the implementation of national public policy systems would generate positive (or homogeneous) effects in all subnational governments, at the same time as it preclude to generalize the premise of fragility of the states in the brazilian federal plan.

Atuação de psicólogos em Centros de Referência de Assistência Social na região amazônica do Marajó

This study investigated the role of psychologists in Social Assistance Reference Centres in the Amazon region of Marajó, considering its specificities: extensive territory, spread population and presence of native communities. Eleven interviews were conducted in 10 out of the total 16 cities. There’s a context of fragile economies and poor housing; incomplete or disarticulated public services; bad working conditions. The activities are ad hoc or asystematic. Promising experiences bet on decentralized and intersectoral services. Experiences from other groups point to the importance of long-term work. We conclude that a powerful way of action is to strengthen the sociability that is characteristic of the native peoples, valuing their knowledge and developing their social protagonism.
