“Economia Solidária e produção de autonomia em saúde mental: Uma análise do filme ‘Dá Para Fazer’ (Si Può Fare)”

Abstract

The present work is the result of the analysis of the Italian film “Dá Para Fazer”, which aimed to relate Mental Health and the Solidarity Economy to discuss the possibilities of producing autonomy for people in psychological distress. With this, scientific productions were sought to support the analysis of the work, in order to raise a brief historical contextualization of the Italian and Brazilian Psychiatric Reforms and their relationships, as well as about the world of work, the emergence of the Solidarity Economy and its relationships with Mental Health. To carry out the discussion, four thematic axes were selected that contributed to the analysis, namely: a) The Solidarity Economy as a model for producing autonomy; b) Challenges and potentialities of the social reintegration of asylum graduates; c) Affects, strategies and responsibilities in the work space; and d) Solidarity as power. It was possible to observe, therefore, the challenges and potential of the union between Mental Health and the Solidarity Economy which, despite facing practical difficulties, generates several benefits for the autonomy of people in psychological distress.
