Portuguese term

recorte biologizante

Portuguese to English Social Sciences Psychology
This is an article about pychologists in schools (in Brazil), cannot figure out what this means, any help is welcome.

Deste modo, desconstruímos a fragmentação de saberes e fazeres, que abre espaços ao recorte biologizante operado pela medicalização e intensificamos as possibilidades de movimentação da rede por meio das integrações e confrontos que se produzem. A promoção de tal circulação problematiza concepções enrijecidas de ética e sigilo, fragmentadoras e que tendem a obstaculizar-se à potência de tais encontros de informações e pensamento.

Thanks!

biologically biased

"recorte" means a frame, a point of view, an approach or perspective, as my colleagues have rightly pointed out.

However, the term "biologizante" suggests that this biological standpoint is biased. So I would go instead with "biologically biased" approach / perspective or whatever term you prefer.

Check this abstract (below) by a Cambridge scholar.
Example sentence:

....the latter is an expansion of environmental ethics towards a less biologically biased concept of a 'centre of ethical worth'.
