Abstract

CEDRAZ, Ariadne  and  DIMENSTEIN, Magda. Oficinas terapêuticas no cenário da Reforma Psiquiátrica: modalidades desinstitucionalizantes ou não?. Rev. Mal-Estar Subj. [online]. 2005, vol.5, n.2, pp. 300-327. ISSN 1518-6148.

The purpose of this study is to get to know how the therapeutic workshops function, while questioning if they constitute a mechanism for change of the traditional asylum logic. The Psychiatric Reform materialized with the financing and regulation of alternative services that substitute the psychiatric hospital, a change promoted by the anti asylum debate and the deinstitutionalization and psychosocial rehabilitation paradigms. Mental health care, therefore, acquired a new form and the Centers for Psychosocial Care (CAPS) are considered the main services of the health network presently under construction. They are services that offer a lot of therapeutics and amongst them is the workshop, considered essential for the advancement of the Reform ideas. The study was conducted in a CAPS II in Natal, RN. Systematic visits were made using the Institutional Analysis perspective and data were then discussed according to Schizoanalysis. Results indicate that the workshops are oftentimes reduced to strategies for the occupation of time, and as a means for the transmission of social values considered correct. The technician-client relationship is hierarchical and both players see the workshop as a task to be met. In sum, the therapeutic workshops subtly maintain vestiges of a paradigm that is incompatible with the ideas of deinstitutionalization.

Keywords : therapeutic workshops; CAPS; psychiatric reform; deinstitutionalization; psychosocial rehabilitation.
