Resumo:   The institution of Mental Health is analyzed as a device for producing subjectivity. Though it deals with a unique production sector, the application of the analytical frame of reference of Social Formations and the market, as espoused by Marx, may bring to light some extremely useful aspects in the analysis of the composition and productive effects of such practices in the field of mental health, within our context, at this present moment in time. Two production modes stand out in clear contradiction: their arguments are consistent with either that of the capitalist mode of production or with the cooperative mode of production that preceded it; the definition of health will vary radically according to the case. It may be concluded that, within both the psychic and mental spheres, health production is inseparable from the production of subjectivity, being either syntonic or dystonic, according to the mode of production that provides the foundations for its fulfillment. With these elements, a new definition for psychic health is being proposed here as a basis for actions of Psychosocial Care.

Embora se trate de um setor singular da produção, a aplicação do referencial de análise das formações sociais e da mercadoria, criado por Marx, pode trazer à luz aspectos de extrema utilidade na análise da composição e dos efeitos produtivos das práticas no campo da saúde mental em nosso contexto na atualidade. Dois modos de produção destacam-se em flagrante contradição: suas lógicas são congruentes com a do modo capitalista de produção ou com a lógica dos modos de produção cooperados que o antecederam; a concepção de saúde variará radicalmente em cada caso. Conclui-se que, no âmbito da saúde psíquica e mental, a produção de saúde é indissociável da produção de subjetividade, podendo estas ser sintônicas ou dessintônicas entre si, dependendo do modo de produção em que são realizadas. Propõe-se nova definição de saúde para a atenção psicossocial.Núcleo de Editoração - PUC-Campinas2012-03-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/estpsi/article/view/8749Psychological Studies; Vol. 29 No. 1 (2012): Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas)Estudos de Psicologia; Vol. 29 Núm. 1 (2012): Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas)Estudos de Psicologia; v. 29 n. 1 (2012): Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas)1982-0275reponame:Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas)instname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (PUC-CAMPINAS)instacron:PUC_CAMPporhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/estpsi/article/view/8749/6167Copyright (c) 2023 Abílio da COSTA-ROSAhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCOSTA-ROSA, Abílio da2024-04-26T13:55:02Zoai:ojs.periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br:article/8749Revistahttps://seer.sis.puc-campinas.edu.br/seer/index.php/estudosPRIhttps://seer.sis.puc-campinas.edu.br/seer/index.php/estudos/oaisbi.ne_estpsi@puc-campinas.edu.br||estudosdepsicologia@puc-campinas.edu.br||psychologicalstudies@puc-campinas.edu.br1982-02750103-166Xopendoar:2024-04-26T13:55:02Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas) - Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (PUC-CAMPINAS)false
