Abstract

BEZERRA, Cíntia Guedes  and  DIMENSTEIN, Magda. Therapeutic accompaniment in the proposal of assisted discharge implemented in a psychiatric hospitalreport of an experience. Psicol. clin. [online]. 2009, vol.21, n.1, pp.15-32. ISSN 0103-5665.

Assisted Discharge/AD and Therapeutic Accompaniment/TA are practices that are inserted in the present context of attention to mental health in accordance with the directives that guide Psychiatric Reforms. Nowadays, people with a mental upset live the challenge of social reintegration, since there isn't available a flexible, agile and firm network capable of helping them. The proposal of a planned and watched exit of the hospital is, therefore, a primary strategy in the process of de-institutionalization. This work intends to present an experience of TA carried out with a patient from the Dr. João Machado Hospital, in the city of Natal, and discuss the effects and results of this form of attention in the proposal of assisted discharge that was applied.

Keywords : mental health; psychiatric reform; assisted discharge; therapeutic accompaniment; social reintegration.
