El presente libro es un aporte derivado de investigación, que
tiene como objetivo dar a conocer algunas particularidades de
la psicología en contexto rural, como lo son las funciones del
psicólogo rural, las competencias que debe desarrollar y los
principales nichos de investigación que se han trabajado en
los últimos años en torno a diversas temáticas, haciendo
énfasis en el suicidio como tema de salud mental.
The work in rural context has some particularities of rurality
that in some cases have not been taken sufficiently into account in
the work of some professionals in disciplines such as psychology,
so this book aims, based on a documentary research, to present from
a theoretical-reflexive perspective, what is usually called and be the
work of rural psychology, starting with a first part of the definition
of rurality and professional skills that should develop a psychologist
working in rural areas; then, to show some of the main investigations
that have been carried out in the last years in this field and to
emphasize the problem of suicide; ending with a second part in the
form of reflection from the logotherapy for life and the conurbation,
of the phenomenon of the rural-urbanity.
