UM OLHAR SOBRE A PSICOMOTRICIDADE

Abstract

The aim of this article is to present a reflective look at a recent professional activity in great expansion: psychomotricity. Psychomotricity is approached as a body-mediated praxis that is based, in a transdisciplinary and complex way, on several areas of knowledge ranging from neurosciences to psychoanalysis. It is taken into consideration that psychomotricity cannot be only functional, not only relational, not only re-educational, not only therapeutic, but which should facilitate the development or establish a therapeutic care according to the needs of each person. In the final considerations, the idea is reinforced that psychomotricity is a double negation because it is not addressed only to the body nor only to the psyche and that this area of knowledge is complex and is at the service of the complexity and particularities of the human being.
