JESUS, Monica Lima  and  ARAUJO, Diego. Politicization and education in service: meaning and sense attributed by residents in a multi-professional residency program in mental health in the State of Bahia. Psicol. teor. prat. [online]. 2011, vol.13, n.3, pp. 67-80. ISSN 1516-3687.

This article aimed to understand the meanings and sense produced by resident students of a multi-professional residency program in mental health. The participants performed as facilitators-caretakers in workshops and projects to foment patron politicization, as well as their own. The activities included workshops on generating income, technical meetings on Caps, and the Citizen Group Project. Individual interviews and a field diary were utilized. The interpretive statements were analyzed through the perspectives of interpretive anthropology, discursive practice, and sense production. The tenet of politicization was discussed as a fertile educational tendency for the education of mental health professionals committed with the principles and guidelines of the SUS system, and particularly, with psychiatric reform. The results illustrate that politicization is expressed as a transversal element of the educational performance/process of the residents: as relational technology and as confrontation of a psychiatric hospital culture.

Keywords : education; mental health; non-medical residency; technology; citizenship.
