SILVEIRA, Ricardo Wagner Machado; REZENDE, Diogo  and  MOURA, Willian Araújo. Research-intervention in a CAPSad - Psychosocial Care Center for Alcohol and Drugs. Gerais, Rev. Interinst. Psicol. [online]. 2010, vol.3, n.2, pp. 184-197. ISSN 1983-8220.

This article will outline a process of research-intervention carried out over a year in a Psychosocial Care Center for Alcohol and Drugs (CAPSad). This research took place on practices based on concepts that involve the Institutional Analysis, thus advocating a job analysis of the complex network of knowledge and power relations present in such service, as well as of the institutional dynamics which causes productive or instituting forces to circulate there, in addition to forces which tend to perpetuate themselves to what is established. We have used the method of research-intervention, for it is a method of research which dissociates the act of researching from the act of intervening, causing the route of this research to be traced in the processuality and complexity of the events investigated. In this investigative-intervening process, the clinic of the Damage Reduction became an issue, for it is a guideline for the public policies in this area.

Keywords : Institutional Analysis; Research-Intervention; Damage Reduction.
