Abstract

PASSARINHO, José Guilherme Nogueira. The relevance of the category of ideology in the perspective of paradigmatic struggle in Mental Health: outlining new possibilities of work. Rev. Psicol. UNESP [online]. 2019, vol.18, n.spe, pp. 141-160. ISSN 1984-9044.

We intend to discuss the pertinence of the category of ideology in the field of Mental Health and its paradigmatic struggles. Initially postulated by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels and later enriched by authors related to Psychoanalysis, especially from the field of Freud and Lacan, this category may prove to be a valuable theoretical tool for those who supports the Psychosocial Atention, allowing particularly to mediate a critique o f the dominant ideology of Psychiatric Hospitalocentric and Medicalizer Paradigm. Thus, we will try to outline the general lines of this discussion, pointing some historical aspects of the Brazilian Psychiatric Reform; a analysis of the paradigmatic strugg les in Mental Health; as well as a contextualization of the category of ideology and a proposal of its use in our field. We aim, therefore, to base new perspectives of work, based on humanization of the public facilities of Mental Health and the concretiza tion of the assumptions of Psychosocial Atention.

Keywords : Psychosocial Atention; Brazilian Psychiatric Reform; Ideology; Psychoanalysis.
