JERUSALINSKY, Julieta. EARLY DETECTION OF PSYCHIC SUFFERING VERSUS FIRST CHILDHOOD PATHOLOGIZATION (FACE TO LAW 13.438 OF ECA). []. , 23, 1, pp.83-99. ISSN 1415-7128.  https://doi.org/10.11606/issn.1981-1624.v23i1p83-99.

The article considers, under the laws 13.388 and 13.257 of the Brazilian Child and Adolescent Statute (ECA), the need for articulation between mental health and basic care to advance the early detection of psychic suffering versus the pathologization of early childhood, modifying the current reality of accompanying development that centering on the organic aspects, detracts from the psychic suffering of the baby, moving from "expectant behavior" to closed psychopathological diagnoses between three and six years of age. Thus, the possibility of detection (between zero and eighteen months) and early intervention is lost, by which it is often possible to change the course of the psychic constitution.
