ROCHA ZAIDHAFT, Eduardo  e  ORTEGA, Francisco. On the importance of culture and experience in mental health care. Psicol. clin. [online]. 2021, vol.33, n.1, pp. 79-94. ISSN 0103-5665.  http://dx.doi.org/10.33208/PC1980-5438v0033n01A04.

This research aimed to study, through a bibliographical review, how the considerations made mainly by Lawrence Kirmayer, Arthur Kleinman and Joan Kleinman can contribute to the field of mental health in Brazil. For the purpose of bringing a global health referential that would enrich the strategies used by the Psychosocial Care Network (RAPS), it was reviewed how mental health care involves an interpretative problem, especially in the light of cultural diversity. As a conclusion, it was seen how this exploration allowed some light to be shed on fundamental characteristics of the notion of territory, that broadens its comprehension to beyond mere geographic locality.

Palavras-chave : mental health; global mental health; culture; territory; experience.
