Escrevivências sobre cuidados em Saúde Mental a partir das Práticas Integrativas e Complementares no contexto do encarceramento

Abstract

The aim of this research was to map a mental health care experience in a prison, through the implementation of a group with Integrative and Complementary Practices (PICS). The field of data production was in a penitentiary, located in the sertão of Pernambuco, the participants were 10 people deprived of liberty, who composed the group of mental health care with PICS, in the context of incarceration. The group proposal occurred in such a way from the participants' protagonism, because working with mental health in the prison context requires devices and tools that produce displacements, in the sense of creating existential territories of life and possibility of affective and social exchanges. It is emphasized that the management with pics presented as a possibility to act in this perspective. The practices inserted in the procedurality of group meetings for the production of mental health, opportunistic the creation of a space of care that favored the bifurcation of homogenizing ways of relating, characteristic of the prison institution. Methodologically, this research was developed from cartographic writing. This presupposes the production of scenes, which result from the immersion of the cartographer in the reality studied, from direct contact with the actors in the field. We opted for observation participant and interview-conversation devices, with detailed recording in field diaries, as well as the production of maps inspired by Deligny (2015). From the records produced, four empirical categories emerged: "Antagonism of the total institution with the psychosocial care model", "The group of mental health care with PICS is also territory", "PICS and mental health in prison: a path to the production of new modes of care" and "Maps of Deligny (2015) as agents of subjectivities". The results of this research pointed out the PICS in mental health as a powerful device for the production of subjectivity, opportunistic to strengthen ties with the participants of the group, so that the daily incarceration could be (re)known in order to guide the production of mental health care, culminating in the construction of the booklet: "Mental Health Care from integrative and complementary practices in the context of incarceration", with emphasis on management for psychosocial care, in the context of deprivation of liberty. Thus, it is considered throughout this route the importance of pointing out ways so that this cartographic process does not run out by itself, but continues to influence the daily life of prison health care marked by psychosocial care, in line with the needs of psychiatric reform.
