Resumen
En este artículo me aproximo a la higiene mental y a la salud mental como vehículos de la psicologización de la sociedad costarricense. Identifico algunas de las estrategias, discursos y fantasías de los psicólogos asociados a estos paradigmas a través de fuentes documentales: libros de texto, programas de estudio, leyes y políticas en salud mental, y campañas del Colegio de Profesionales en Psicología de Costa Rica, adoptando una perspectiva histórica-crítica. Analizo las proyecciones preventivas y de promoción a nivel comunitario, escolar, y familiar como parte de una vocación generosa (Rose, 1998), con que la
disciplina ha infiltrado las instituciones socializadoras. Posteriormente, abordo el problema de la cooptación terapeutocrática de derechos sociales en relación con el auge de los enfoques cognitivo-conductuales. Finalmente, discuto las aspiraciones consensuales de la psicopolítica (de Vos, 2012), en el contexto de pandemia por COVID-19 y reforma psiquiátrica
In this article, I approach mental hygiene and mental health programs as vehicles of psycholo gization of Costa Rican society. I identify some of the strategies, discourses and fantasies adopted by psychologists associated with these paradigms through the study of documentary sources such as textbooks, curriculums, mental health laws and policies, and campaigns by the College of Professionals in Psychology of Costa Rica. I analyse the preventive and promotional projections at the communal, scholar, and familiar level as part of a generous vocation (Rose, 1998), with which the discipline has infiltrated socializing institutions. Subsequently, I address the problem of thepeutocratic cooptation of social rights and its link to the rise of cognitive behavioural approaches. Finally, I discuss the consensual aspirations of psychopolitics (de Vos, 2012) in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and neoliberal reform.
