Abstract
This article aimed to analyze the process involving the choices and procedures of an extensive review of the scientific literature about the violence based on gender identity and sexual orientation. This research was made using two databases: SciELO and BVS-PSI, which 98 papers were analyzed. It was observed that although the whole controversy surrounding the homophobia term, this was the most effective descriptor. The majority of the studies were published in the South of Brazil, however, many of these were produced in the North and Northeast. These papers were concentrated in the humanities and social sciences, as well as in Social Psychology, but there is a lack of this discussion in Clinical Psychology. However, in the context where the psychologies dialogue with other fields of knowledge, in a multidisciplinary perspective, or even of Social Psychology, this theme has reached space. The dissemination of this debate within the scope of this discipline is also justified when we observe certain practices that take the knowledge-power of Psychology, and consequently, the practice of psychologists, as a tool in political disputes in the field of sexual rights in recent years.
