SOUZA, Andressa Mayara Silva  e  RODRIGUES, Rafael Coelho. Democracy and mental health care: ethical and political crossings. Est. Inter. Psicol. [online]. 2020, vol.11, n.2, pp. 03-16. ISSN 2236-6407.  http://dx.doi.org/10.5433/2236-6407.2020v11n2p03.

The present work aims to present the interdisciplinarity between health and political fields, in order to indicate how each defines and fits some of its concepts and, above all, its practices. The notion of Psychology here operated surpasses the production of a psychology of representation that removes the possibilities of singularization, to think of a psychology of difference, that questions the knowledge/powers instituted. It is concluded, in this line of considerations, with the importance of the affirmation of a democratic perspective of access to health services and active participation of users in the modes of care production. Therefore, it is advocated a clinic to be build and reinvented from the meeting with the users.
