Veredas da loucura: incursões no cotidiano de usuários na estratégia saúde da família, numa comunidade de Campina Grande-PB.

Abstract

People who had a ways of living different from the other were not always considered mad. The space given to those whose sanity has been questioned, were travel to other places, the appreciation of nature. The spaces for the enclosure are rearranged when psychiatry becomes science and madness is transformed into illness. This moment marks a new stage in the psychiatric universe, people with unreason began to be classified as crazy and occupy specific places, at the same time disciplined and separated according to a moral order of a capitalist society. These spaces were the legitimizing of this science and the recipients of their knowledge, in principle unquestioned. On these places came discussions about their ways of practicing psychiatry, so that in the end of the twentieth century in Brazil was slowly dismantling these spaces and the creation of others with different perspectives to those presented in the psychiatric hospitals. It was the beginning of a new phase in the universe of madness. Given the above, this work presents interesting considerations about the historical moments of madness. It discusses the process of psychiatric reform in Campina Grande and presents from ethnographic forays in the Community of Flowers where followed the everyday life of a Family Health Strategy, observing people in a Group of Mental Health. Throughout the written were presented narratives people with experience of internment, from the dialogue with literature and with people with whom they established a living together during the fieldwork. The proposal is to analyze how people's of the Mental Health Group are perceived in the Family Health Strategy and how they live their daily interaction with others in the community after the Psychiatric Reform in Campina Grande-PB. For this research was essential the living together with these people and dialogue with other sciences such as history and anthropology as well as dialogue with other productions that have brought in their debates interesting discussions about other realities in the process of psychiatric reform. But in their paths had methodological approaches and research different locus, thus underscoring the uniqueness of this research to elect as a locus of research an urban community where its residents are served by the Family Health Strategy. In this way we tried to understand the daily lives of people in the Group of Mental Health and how they understand and are understood in this universe. The ethnographic experience approached researcher and participants in the research and collaborated in the reflections on the experiences of everyday life beyond the walls of a Basic Unit Health of Family. The narratives of the main characters of this research differentiate it from others in this study were authors of their stories because their speeches were not about them, but these are his own.
