Psychology and the workers' Health Movement in the state of São Paulo (Brazil).
Journal of health psychology, 2004Co-Authors: Leny Sato, Francisco Antonio De Castro Lacaz, Mírcia Hespanhol BernardoAbstract:This article discusses the ways in which psychology has contributed to a new range of public Health services concerned with the Health of working people in the State of Sao Paulo, Brazil. It begins by discussing the political, institutional and theoretical bases from which the Workers' Health Movement emerged in the early 1980s as a replacement for previous approaches to occupational Health. It provides examples of some of the different actions and practices that were developed and which had a key role in the battle for better working conditions and for an enhanced role for workpeople in organizational change. Finally it shows how the dialogue between the field of Workers' Health and psychology was crucial for the construction of psychology's social agenda.

From the community mental Health Movement to the war on drugs. A study in the definition of social problems.
The American psychologist, 1993Co-Authors: Keith Humphreys, Julian RappaportAbstract:In the 1980s, the Reagan and Bush administrations reduced funding for community mental Health programs and began instead to support substance abuse treatment agencies. One reason for this shift in policy was that the social problem of mental illness had been captured by progressives in the community mental Health Movement. Conservatives, therefore, needed a new problem to redefine and use to enact new social control policies. The conservatives' claim that substance abuse is primarily the result of a defect in the character or constitution of the abuser has had profound effects on both social policy and the research community. Greater awareness is needed on the part of researchers as to how social problems have been defined and how government research grants affect our thinking about substance abuse.

Na shariram nadhi, My body is mine: The urban women’s Health Movement in india and its negotiation of modernity
Women's Studies International Forum, 1998Co-Authors: Kalpana RamAbstract:Abstract This article explores the Indian women’s Health Movement for productive insights into current debates on the “travelling” meanings of modernity. Taking the feminist demand for bodily autonomy as a starting point for the exploration, the article traces the trajectories described by some of modernity’s central concepts: choice, freedom, autonomy, rights, and [developmental versions of] progress. The journeys described here take place not only between the “global” and the “local,” but between metropole and colony in the colonial period, and between the nation-state and the women’s Movement in the postcolonial period. As the case example of the controversy over amniocentesis (used in India in the identification and abortion of female foetuses) illustrates, terms such as choice and development have become central to contestations between the women’s Movement, the state, and the professional middle classes.
