Psicanálise e saúde mental: contribuições para uma prática possível.

Abstract

From the outset, psychoanalysis makes it possible for the subjects to be enunciated. From this understanding, we seek in this article to build an articulation between the space of Mental Health in the current Brazilian context and the possible practice of psychoanalysis within it. In a first moment we make a brief history on the conceptions of health and disease, as well as we highlight the main transformations that occurred in this area from the Psychiatric Reform. Later, we developed a discussion about the approximations and distances between psychoanalytic practice and the space of Mental Health, as well as trying to think about the impasses that arise from the insertion of psychoanalysis in institutional environments. Finally, we consider that it becomes an important way of rescuing and consolidating the notion of a singular subject within the space of Mental Health from the presence of psychoanalytic doing.
