Abstract

Silvia Juana Rivadera González was an occupational therapist and militant of the Partido Revolucionario de los Trabajadores and Ejército Revolucionario del Pueblo who disappeared in the last military ecclesiastical civic dictatorship of Argentina (1976-1983). The article proposes to recover her history and from it, to open a debate to think about the social representations of Occupational Therapy and the professional exercise as a specific field of political action and a way to promote accessibility andequity in health. Professional practice is thus defined as a critical, creative and transformative act, crossed by the defense of human rights in the different social, economic, political and cultural realities. The work on memory of the profession places us in a present that contains and builds past experience and future expectations. To make visible and address the impact of the military ecclesiastical civic dictatorship on students and colleagues; and the traces left by them has so far been a path little explored in our discipline. This is a free article based on the interview to the sister of our disapeared colleague who transmitted her story.
