SUMMARY:

Currently, there has been an increase in the incidence of self-mutilation in schools and in society in general, constituting a public health problem. We analyzed the literature and observed that most research on this phenomenon has a predominantly biomedical bias, focusing on the intrapsychological dimension and that there is no consensus among scholars on how to name it. We evaluated this scenario and observed that it permeates a tendency towards stigma, prejudice, exclusion and medicalization of people involved in these practices. We emphasize the importance of a discussion that also addresses the interpsychological aspects. We point to the lack of systematic studies that discuss the historicity of these practices. This opening to the proposition and diversification of approaches to the prevention and confrontation of this phenomenon led us to carry out this research, which aimed to investigate historiographic implications in the negotiation of meanings about self-mutilation in the narratives of undergraduates in Psychology. This dissertation consists of two chapters formatted as scientific articles. In the first article, we present a literature review that addresses a brief historiography of self-mutilation practices. In this, we argue that self-mutilation is not a current practice, as it reveals itself with diversity throughout human history, related to sociocultural aspects underlying human experiences in the world. In the second article, we present an intervention research with the aim of investigating historiographic implications in the negotiation of meanings about self-mutilation in the narratives of undergraduates in Psychology. In the methodology, we carried out a cycle of seven workshops, which consisted of activities to encourage the writing of narratives by the participants. All workshops were held remotely, through the Google Meet platform, complying with provisions for social isolation as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The results of the cycle of workshops indicated that the participants changed the way they conceived the practices of self-mutilation, reflecting the historicity movement and its implications for living with people who practice it. We conclude, from our methodological design, that the focus on the historicity of self-mutilation allowed us to reflect on its implications for living with people who practice self-mutilation and also to add methodological suggestions for a critical approach, eminently committed to cultural aspects, ethical-political aspects of human development.
