Abstract

The purpose of the next research is to analyze from a critical perspective the criminalized childhood imaginary of occupational therapists who works in psychosocial prevention programs and closed treatment centers, whose users are criminalized children and adolescents with and without criminal sanction, in order to know the implications of this issue has in the praxis of the profession. Metodology: It was used the in-depth interviews and discourse analysis as a qualitative research methodology. Subsequently was realized a categories analysis of contents to descry the explicit and implicit conceptualization in the narrative for explore the childhood imaginaries of the seven interviewed occupational therapists. Results: The childhood and teenage stage is referred to as exploratory, complex and fundamental for the constitution of the adult personality. The imaginaries are associated with the construct of delinquency with a series of situations that can lead the child and adolescent to be linked to this activity (familism, school dropout, scant support from the public institutions, the neoliberal system, consumerism). The prevention centers carry out interventions in everyday spaces and promote instances of occupational participation, meanwhile in closed centers mainly activities are focused on social and labor reintegration are carried out. Discussion: There is a diversity of perspectives regarding to the interventions, existing significant differences between imaginaries of those occupational therapist who work in contexts of sanctioned population and those who do not. The government limitations greatly restrict the interventions, expectations and projections, confronting the imaginary with the proposed in the international declaration of child rights.
