From psychosocial intervention to psychosocial involvement

Abstract

The thesis of this paper is that the transition from psychosocial intervention to psychosocial involvement consists in moving away from the neutral form of the former to the bidirectional, reciprocal and committed relationship of the latter. The body of the argument is based on addressing two questions: What is understood by neutrality in psychosocial intervention? and is it possible to move from psychosocial intervention to psychosocial involvement-psychosocial accompaniment? It was concluded that neutrality is a form of opposition to the development of psychosocial involvement, since neutrality means distance and non-commitment between the parties in the process of psychosocial intervention. Therefore, we try to assume the idea of a committed transit that makes all the interacting parties transform themselves through mutual actions that benefit everyone.
