| description |
Starting from social sciences research on the narratives of psychologists and psychiatrists, the aim of this work is to investigate the articulation between diagnostic categories and trans identities, taking into account the enactment of the gender identity law in 2012 in Argentina. This law is the result of demands made to the State and healthcare services by sex-dissident activists. Thus, the study investigates professional accounts regarding the ways in which gender self-perception is expressed. One of the key aspects of the law is its depathologizing nature. In this sense, the paper explores the tensions between what is said and practiced from psychological knowledge, based on the aforementioned transformations. It is interesting to examine the coexistence and, often, contradiction between pathologizing elements that persist in discourses with modifications in practices, the incorporation of other knowledge, and internal discussions. This is a qualitative study, and in-depth interviews were conducted with psychologists and psychiatrists working in Buenos Aires, Argentina. |

I28-R145-16235_oai2025-11-17 Del Monaco, Romina 2025-06-30 Starting from social sciences research on the narratives of psychologists and psychiatrists, the aim of this work is to investigate the articulation between diagnostic categories and trans identities, taking into account the enactment of the gender identity law in 2012 in Argentina. This law is the result of demands made to the State and healthcare services by sex-dissident activists. Thus, the study investigates professional accounts regarding the ways in which gender self-perception is expressed. One of the key aspects of the law is its depathologizing nature. In this sense, the paper explores the tensions between what is said and practiced from psychological knowledge, based on the aforementioned transformations. It is interesting to examine the coexistence and, often, contradiction between pathologizing elements that persist in discourses with modifications in practices, the incorporation of other knowledge, and internal discussions. This is a qualitative study, and in-depth interviews were conducted with psychologists and psychiatrists working in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Partiendo de una investigación desde las ciencias sociales sobre las narrativas de psicólogos/as y psiquiatras, el objetivo del trabajo es indagar en la articulación entre categorías diagnósticas y las identidades trans teniendo en cuenta la promulgación de la Ley de Identidad de Género en el año 2012 en Argentina. La misma es resultado de las demandas al Estado y a los servicios de salud de los activismos sexo-disidentes. Uno de los aspectos centrales que se destaca de la ley refiere a su carácter despatologizador. En este sentido, se indaga en las tensiones entre lo que se dice y las prácticas desde los saberes psi a partir de las transformaciones señaladas. Interesa dar cuenta de la convivencia y, muchas veces, contradicción entre elementos patologizantes que perduran en los discursos con modificaciones en las prácticas, incorporación de otros saberes y discusiones internas. Se han realizado entrevistas en profundidad a psicólogos/as y psiquiatras que trabajan en Buenos Aires y la técnica utilizada fue el análisis de narrativas. Partindo de uma pesquisa nas ciências sociais sobre as narrativas de psicólogos/as e psiquiatras, o objetivo deste trabalho é investigar a articulação entre categorias diagnósticas e as identidades trans, levando em consideração a promulgação da lei de identidade de gênero em 2012 na Argentina. Esta é resultado das demandas ao Estado e aos serviços de saúde dos ativismos sexo-dissidentes. Assim, investiga-se os relatos profissionais em torno das maneiras de se expressar em relação à autopercepção de gênero. Um dos principais aspectos da lei que se destaca é sua natureza despatologizante. Nesse sentido, investigam-se as tensões entre o dito e as práticas a partir do saber psi a partir das transformações indicadas. É importante notar a coexistência e, muitas vezes, a contradição entre elementos patologizantes que persistem nos discursos com modificações nas práticas, incorporação de outros saberes e discussões internas. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa e foram realizadas entrevistas em profundidade com psicólogos/as e psiquiatras que trabalham em Buenos Aires, Argentina. application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/runa/article/view/16235 10.34096/runa.v46i2.16235 spa Instituto de Ciencias Antropológicas, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, UBA https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/runa/article/view/16235/14870 Derechos de autor 2025 Romina Del Monaco RUNA, archivo para las ciencias del hombre; Vol. 46 No. 2 (2025): Socio-educational experiences: Learning by doing in the field of Anthropological Science; 233-252 RUNA, archivo para las ciencias del hombre; Vol. 46 Núm. 2 (2025): Experiencias socioeducativas: aprender haciendo en el campo de las Ciencias Antropológicas; 233-252 RUNA, archivo para las ciencias del hombre; v. 46 n. 2 (2025): Experiências socioeducativas: aprender fazendo no campo das Ciências Antropológicas; 233-252 1851-9628 0325-1217 Psychology and psychiatry Trans identities Depathologization Narratives Argentina Psicología y psiquiatría Identidades trans Despatologización Narrativas Argentina Psicologia e psiquiatria Identidades trans despatologização Narrativas Argentina “They say one thing but in practice they do another”: Psi knowledge, trans identities, and processes of depathologization “Dicen una cosa pero en la práctica hacen otra”: Conocimientos psi, identidades trans y procesos de despatologización “Dizem uma coisa, mas na prática fazem outra”: Conhecimentos psi, identidades trans e processos de despatologização info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Artículos evaluados por pares https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=runa&d=16235_oai |
