Psychology of health: articulations between life and politics

Authors

Abstract

This paper aims to think about Psychology of Health regarding articulations between life and politics. The focus of discussion is on an exercise that enables us to consider life and politics in order to problematize the relationship between Psychology and Health, making a certain twist in thought. The field of analysis is supported by Social Psychology, particularly the post-structuralism, in a dialogue with Philosophy. Thinking with life in Social Psychology is to consider an orientation, a figure of thought that affirms the excess - the excess of production of life; not if there is health or not, rather what happens to life, how life itself happens concerning the variation of forms and the affirmation of life, a politics of life.
