Abstract

MARANHAO, Joyce Hilario  and  VIEIRA, Camilla Lopes Araújo. Reflections on the concepts of citizenship and subject in psychoanalysis in Mental Health. Estud. pesqui. psicol. [online]. 2019, vol.19, n.3, pp. 753-771. ISSN 1808-4281.

The capture of citizenship as a principle of mental health practices and discourse to be subjectively incorporated by the crazy creates a standoff in the subversive attitude intended by the Brazilian Psychiatric Reform. Psychoanalysis supports the act of listening to the subject, in a position of authorship, responsibility for their suffering and support of their desire, being there a possible contribution of psychoanalysis to the antimanicomial fight. Based on an analytical research, with a qualitative focus, the article approaches the signifiers of citizenship and subject in psychoanalysis and what are the practical and political implications of such conceptions for the daily life of the Psychosocial Care Centers. It is based on a theoretical and political contribution in pointing out the differences between work oriented by citizenship and that guided by the effects of the unconscious, however, without objecting to an opposition between these perspectives of work.

Keywords : Mental health; Pychoanalysis; Citizenship.
