Prospects for intervention in the social from the challenges of colombian peace process

Abstract

Given the current panorama of implementation of the Havana Peace Agreements, Colombian society is going through a historic moment of hope and uncertainty, in which it is a priority to rethink our intervention in the social sphere. This article aims to present a set of perspectives and challenges for the professional intervention from the socio-therapy with action without damage, product of a qualitative research exercise, with a hermeneutical approach, under the modality of documentary research and analysis of content, which raises the reflection of the professional practice in the integral reparation of victims in the Capital District (Bogotá). The findings suggest that it is important to re-signify the impacts of armed conflict from ethical-political professional interventions that address the management of emotions. This will help to guarantee the rights of all citizens by mobilizing their resources and will increase the possibility of democratic building of peace. The importance of thinking about the place of the self-care and reflexivity of the professional in the processes of intervention with victims is identified because of the emotional risks generated by this social scenario.
