FRANCA, Ivarlete Guimarães de. Reflections about the implant and the operation of a mental health emergency attendance. Psicol. cienc. prof. [online]. 2005, vol.25, n.1, pp. 146-163. ISSN 1414-9893.

This paper proposes a reflection on the challenges faced by a mental health staff to create a mental health emergency service outside the context of a psychiatric hospital. It emphasizes embracement as a clinic strategy to respond to psychic suffering and to overcome the hardship found by individuals and groups in at-risk situations, social disadvantages and mental suffering. The challenge proposed lies on the possibility to substitute an inpatient health model for a community and outpatient health care network.
