SIVINSKI, Tamires da Cunha  and  PAULON, Simone Mainieri. About do live the participation of mental health users in health production. Rev. Psicol. UNESP [online]. 2016, vol.15, n.2, pp. 51-63. ISSN 1984-9044.

This paper discusses the participatory involvement of mental health users in the field of primary care and analyzes this participation considering the biopower mechanisms. Participatory processes were investigated through intervention research methodology, cartographic analysis withdrawn from groups' narratives and interviews. These methods relate the subject to the current biopolitics context, as studied by Michel Foucault, which prints marks in modes of the subjectivity of all the actors involved. The results point out some participatory process, although these processes do not necessarily occur in its best potency in the official spaces that the system designated for them today.As a conclusion, the necessity of a closer relationship between the Brazilian's services providing psychosocial care network is signaled in order to enhance participatory processes that already exist.
