Resumen
BLANCO, Amalio. Use and abuse of the term "Psychosocial" in the field of social intervention. Pap. Psicol. [online]. 2023, vol.44, n.2, pp.55-63. Epub 16-Oct-2023. ISSN 1886-1415. https://dx.doi.org/10.23923/pap.psicol.3011.
Applied to theory, research, and intervention, the term “psychosocial” is defined as an approach characterized by the relationships of interdependence and mutual influence between the various levels of reality in which daily life takes place. This idea began to take its first steps with the events that gave rise to the social sciences, psychology among them. Applied to social intervention, the psychosocial perspective is based on a simple premise: psychology is legitimized as an instrument to serve human well-being, both in its personal and collective dimension. It recognizes the constructed nature of reality and the social order, with the purpose of trying to change it when it leaves psychological damage and social destruction in its wake, using the social scenarios (community, group) as the agent and objective of change.
