THE RICHNESS OF INTER-EPISTEMOLOGICAL DIALOGUE FOR COMPREHENSIVE CARE: HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL MEDICINE BY THE PROJECT ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH, PARASITOLOGY, BIOETHICS

Abstract

The present case study presents the actions carried out in extension by the Environmental Health, Parasitology, Bioethics Project by the Laboratory of Immunoparasitology and Toxicological Analysis of the Faculty of Pharmacy, a project that works in complexity bringing together the disciplinarities: multi, inter and transdisciplinarities. Together with the representatives of the Native Peoples in an urban context in the city of Rio de Janeiro, they have been rescuing the cosmovisions of the different native peoples residing in the city of Rio de Janeiro, resulting in diversified cultural and technological products, with regard to the premises in social technology and social medicine. The phenomenon studied and discussed is related to the need for knowledge of indigenous worldviews for effective care for urban indigenous people in integrality, improving the anamnesis in ethnopsychiatry (branch of study on cultural behavioral variants of ethnic origin and native peoples) to fulfill the singular therapeutic project. Furthermore, the respectful inter-epistemological dialogue is made of reciprocity and constitutes the best example of ethics between peoples, empirically perceived as such by our students and by all those involved in this project.
