OFICINAS TERAPÊUTICAS EM SAÚDE MENTAL COMO DISPOSITIVO AGENCIADOR DE NOVOS TERRITÓRIOS EXISTENCIAIS: Um relato de experiência de estágio em CAPS

Abstract

In the context of the Psychiatric Reform, anti-asylum care practices emerge from devices that produce existential territories, emancipation, and social insertion of madness in the city. Therefore, psychosocial care offers must move towards deinstitutionalization strategies, such as artistic-cultural activities. Therapeutic workshops in mental health must produce subjectivities, autonomy and citizenship, whether through work, art or activity. This work aims to present an Experience Report of a Mandatory Curricular Internship in psychology carried out at CAPS III Gutemberg Botelho, João Pessoa-PB, together with therapeutic workshops on art, work and income generation through the solidarity economy, with records of field of experiences. The target audience was the group of service users and workers, Bem Me Quero Empoderada. The literature used covers: conceptions of the Psychiatric Reform; French Institutionalism; Schizoanalysis; Italian Democratic Psychiatry; current Brazilian bibliographic productions; and national legislation regarding the Psychosocial Care Network. As a result, it was found that therapeutic workshops aimed at functioning as vectors of existentialization, by focusing on expressive art as a means of re-territorialization of subjectivity and solidary economic work, made it possible to create new existential territories. Thus, lines of escape and new developments were built towards the occupation of the city and psychosocial rehabilitation. However, degraded workshops, given the history of occupation of the idleness of madness, existed in parallel. Finally, it was realized that participating in the anti-asylum struggle strengthens the care proposals that reflect the clinical and political meanings of the workshops.
