The Public Health and the Child Externalizing Behavior: a revision of literature

Abstract

The externalizing behaviors refer to a set of impulsive reactions that exteriorized by children (or adolescents) produce conflicts and, in a repetitive and persistent pattern, are associated with psychopathological syndromes and disorders. This article has the objective of empirical review on the subject, in three disciplinary axes of Public Health. It follows the systematic review method, with an empirical focus and narrative format, taking science as social practice and raising qualitative aspects of literature produced between 2009 and 2019. The knowledge produced brings important cuts on the subject, however, the panorama reached reveals a discursive distance between the axes of epidemiology and of the social science, precariously approximated in the axis of health planning. The ways of considering the child in the research are with child silencing, prioritizing adults' perceptions about children. We come to considerations about the importance of effective interdisciplinarity and a pedagogy of transdisciplinarity capable of transcending the place of specialties and of recognizing the child, with the appreciation of his practices and knowledge, as the central actor of knowledge about himself.
