RESISTÊNCIA FEMININA NA DITADURA CIVIL-MILITAR BRASILEIRA À LUZ DA ABORDAGEM CENTRADA NA PESSOA

Abstract

The Brazilian civil-military dictatorship took place between 1964 and 1985, and is characterized by being a period of intense repression and State control over individual, groups and institutions in all its spheres. For the Person-Centered Therapy, individuals tend towards development, complexity, updating. The research aims to carry out a reading of the trajectory of resistance of Iara Iavelberg in the Brazilian civil-military dictatorship in the light of the Person-Centered Therapy, specifically, it sought to exemplify possibilities of expressions of the Actualizing Tendency in a non-facilitating way in the experience of Iara Iavelberg as a woman and guerrilla. To this end, a search was made for bibliographic and documental materials available on her resistance movement, in a qualitative and bibliographical research. Thus, after a critical and interpretive reading and analysis of the selected material, the results were divided into two axes for better understanding: 1) Experiential freedom and congruence; and 2) The relationship with the other as a facilitator of experiential freedom. Some moments in Iara Iavelberg's political trajectory draw attention for her experience of experiential freedom that she has had since an early age. Iara placed herself in a position of freedom not to remain where she did not feel wholeness and connection between what she expressed, thought and felt. It was in the relationships with resistance companions that freedom could be found, facilitating the process of fluid, constant and creative life movement to happen in an unobstructed way. Thus, the research, by rescuing memories and narratives of women who actively participated in facing a dark time in the country, it can contribute to a visibility to historically silenced voices, inaugurating a field of analysis among the available literature on the civil-military dictatorship in the light of the Person-Centered Therapy.
