Abstract
ESCOBAR-SERRANO, María Cénide; CHARRY-HIGUERA, Maritza and RAMIREZ-MONCADA, Natalia. Reflexivity about professional intervention bereavement with population affected by the armed conflict in Colombia. Prospectiva [online]. 2020, n.30, pp.67-89. Epub Dec 30, 2020. ISSN 0122-1213. https://doi.org/10.25100/prts.v0i30.8564.
This article contains the partial results of the ongoing investigation that sought to reflect on the intervention, reveal understandings of grief and provoke self-referential processes with the professionals who serve the population affected by the Colombian armed conflict. The methodology was qualitative from a liminal epistemology that conceives the existence of diffuse limits with the intervention; individual interviews and group meetings were found that favored reflexivity among professionals. The results affected concern professionals for the institutional progress of the bereavement intervention, gaps in their training and history of unfinished grief that prevent them and deepen the bereavement intervention with the population. It is concluded that reflexivity in the face of grieving intervention implies rethinking what they do and how they do it: highlighting limitations and scope of institutional contexts, greater depth in the intervention, training around grief and preparing emotionally about their own losses to generate professional relationships that facilitate the elaboration and reconstruction processes of the painful situations experienced by the people they serve.
Keywords : Grief; Intervention; Reflexivity; Social Work; Colombian armed conflict.
