Intervention guide of historica memory: a strategy of psychosocial recovery

Abstract

This research had as its main objective to design an intervention guide to develop historical memory exercises with victims of the armed conflict, which contributes to the memory of the conflict from the perspective of its victims and their psychosocial recovery. To achieve the creation of this guide, an extensive documentary review of theoretical and empirical works was conducted, in addition to eight testimonies of professionals who have performed historical memory exercises at national and international level, and four testimonies of victims who have participated in these activities, knowing from practice the strengths and weaknesses of the strategy. As a result, there is an intervention protocol consisting of three modules: collective identity, resignification and social support, as well as a section of recommendations for facilitators. Each of these modules presents a series of activities, designed to articulate the historical memory construction process and, at the same time, support the process of psychosocial recovery.
