Throughout the 12 years of existence of 4
Estações Instituto de Psicologia,
the world went through situations that led to
changes in the system of creeds, to the need
of a new attitude towards the use of natural
and human resources and to the adoption of a
participatory posture in many aspects involved
in the preservation of life. The science breakthroughs,
especially in the people’s health care
field created a need for reflection on Ethics
and Bioethics, with an opening for a systemic
and non-linear thinking. The awareness of human
participation in climatic changes and the use
of resources available in the worldwide computer
web allowed us to exceed limits and obliged
us to admit our responsibility for the events
that affect us and the next generations in a
global scope.
The world has
also seen the escalation of violence and painful
manifestations of intolerance. Similarly –
or would it be in consonance? – the expansion
of the perception of the human being as complex,
singular and in context led us to face the need
for finding ways of dialogue to communicate
ourselves using new codes.
Throughout this
period, 4 Estações Instituto
de Psicologia has not merely accompanied
such changes; it has also acted as a protagonist
by playing a role in its scope of action. By
forming professionals to work in bereavement
situations, we responded to the need for increasing
the field of action with qualification and ethical
posture. By expressing ourselves in public in
the face of situations that endangered the physical
and moral integrity of the human being, we have
also indicated the need for preventive and corrective
measures in the presence of such risks. By opening
the field to multiprofessional conversation
that would allow the interchange among several
fields of knowledge involved in the phenomenon
that is the focus of our studies and actions,
we demonstrated that we were sensitive to the
need for enlarging consciences beyond the technique
domain, with the concern of instructing qualified
and conscious professionals.
4 Estações
relies on IPÊ – Intervenções
Psicológicas em Emergência,
a nucleus that since its foundation in 2001
has been having the opportunity to afford to
its partners psychologists a sound knowledge
in the area of intervention services in technological,
human or natural accidents, crises in work environment
and limit situations. Through the action exercised
by IPÊ and other partner psychologists,
4 Estações responds to the demands
of specialized care in emergency and bereavement
situations and occupies an outstanding position
in Brazil and abroad in view of the excellence
of its performance and the background of its
members.
Furthermore,
since 2006 4 Estações
counts on the Psycho-Oncology nucleus to offer
a proposal to instruct and render assistance
in the area of Psychology-Oncology interface.
By the time we
make an appraisal of the 12 years of existence
of 4 Estações Instituto
de Psicologia, it is impossible to
deny our satisfaction for having formed partnerships
with respect, for having a place in the scientific
community where we are also respected and highly
regarded, as well as for accomplishing the mission
that guide us since the first moment that we
felt that the dream had to be translated into
action with excellence.
Therefore, we
wish a long life to 4 Estações,
so that we can continue with this proposal and
maintain the credibility we have conquered.
