Abstract

FREITAS, Cledione Jacinto de  and  JUSTO, José Sterza. Between stop and transit: Psychosocial Attention to Wandering and Nomadism. Gerais, Rev. Interinst. Psicol. [online]. 2019, vol.12, n.2, pp.300-318. ISSN 1983-8220.  https://doi.org/10.36298/gerais2019120208.

The present world produces diverse geographic and psychosocial mobilities. Among them are those performed by wanderers and homeless people, who live in constant transit through highways or inhabit open and public spaces of the city. This article aims to examine and discuss public policies and practices in the field of collective mental health and their positioning in relation to nomadic and wandering life forms. For that, the principles and strategies of public health services were analyzed and compared with the way of life of wanderers and homeless people. As the main conclusion, it was possible to observe that public mental health services face difficulties and obstacles to accept and respond to the demands of these people because they are guided by strategies and services based on the perspective of territorialization and sedentary life in fixed and stable geographical and psychosocial spaces.

Keywords : Psychosocial Attention; Wander; Nomadism; Public policy.
