This article seeks to contribute to the debate about participation and health by presenting a framework for psychosocial interventions in primary health care. It highlights the social psychological dimensions of participation and the role it plays in improving conditions of living and thus health. The Freirean concepts of dialogue, recognition and conscientization, combined with understanding of local knowledge are suggested as guiding notions for psychosocial interventions seeking to enhance community participation and develop the local level. The article discusses the challenges as well as the potential gains experienced in the process of participation presented. It concludes by reaffirming the importance of participation and empowerment in health interventions struggling against health inequalities and seeking health for all. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
