Abstract

In this paper the differences of approach in research on prostitution of women, which generate deep controversy both in academia and in the social intervention models are analyzed. Epistemological similarities between the tenets of Liberation Psychology and gender approaches in the analysis of social problems concerning women are analyzed. The Liberation Psychology epistemological provides a useful framework to address the complexity of prostitution, from the analysis of power dynamics operating in it. His focus areas of analysis allow the two issues in dispute, the focus of prostitution of women: a) the subjectivity of prostituted women who demand a commitment to improving their living conditions, b) structural aspects generate oppression and demand a transformation of reality. Methodological plurality of its approach opens a wide range of possibilities for the diversity of disciplines involved in an intervention aimed at empowering women in prostitution. Finally, critical elements that Liberation Psychology can contribute to the controversy about prostitution of women are proposed.
