Considering the theoretical framework on Foucault's History of Madness, theories of the civilizing process, subjective processes and the history of psychiatric reform as well as antiasylum struggles, the present study aimed to present many ways to understanding madness according to the historical moment and show the transformations undergone according to these. Through an ideological construction of what is understood about madness, social actions are guided, and the subjective (even if unconsciously) relations of how to deal with it. That said, it becomes possible to present the concepts of madness throughout history through the discourse of the Other; the asylum as a repository of subjects, memories and emptyings; and the power relations of classical psychiatry over the mad. Thus, it is possible to face contempt relations, with regard to subjects classified as crazy, due to the failure to follow social norms. However, it is also faced with struggle and resistance in anti-asylum movements that continue trying, to the present day, to combat the exclusion of these subjects. This study seeks to bring reflections to what is understood about madness; about the archaic form of treatment that still exists; and about what mental health, as a form of knowledge, teaches to act in the context of health and in the social field. To obtain the results of the research, bibliographical references were used, of qualitative nature and exploratory character; the references used date from 1978 to 2021.
