Resumo: The use and the offer of the alternatives/complementary therapies are usually associated with the New Age phenomenon. Usually analyzed as part of the New Age movement, I suggest that the insistent association between alternative therapies and New Age has been a problem to make visible processes of legitimation and regulation of such therapeutic practices. I refer to processes that take place at least since the mid-1990s, for example, the emergence of holistic therapists unions, the emergence of a political agenda in Congress dedicated to the regulation of the profession, the teaching of alternative therapies in universities and, finally, the support  and promotion of these practices in the Brazillian public health system. In this article, I analyse part of these processes in Brazil.

Usualmente associadas ao universo da Nova Era, sugiro que a presunção — ou o insistente privilégio analítico — do vínculo entre terapias alternativas e o esoterismo da Nova Era dificultou que os antropólogos atentassem para processos que progressivamente vêm ocorrendo no país e que, em alguma medida, contrapõem-se às perspectivas que concebem tais práticas como desinstitucionalizadas, não-modernas, contra-hegemônicas, etc. Refiro-me a processos que se realizam pelo menos desde meados dos anos de 1990 como, por exemplo, a emergência de sindicatos de terapeutas holísticos, o surgimento de uma agenda política no Congresso Nacional dedicada à regulamentação da profissão, o ensino das terapias alternativas em cursos de saúde de universidades públicas e, finalmente, o apoio à promoção e oferta dessas práticas no SUS. Para tanto, recorro a descrição dos processos de legitimação e de oficialização de algumas dessas práticas terapêuticas por parte do Ministério da Saúde brasileiro e da Organização Mundial de Saúde. Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo2016-08-31info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/rever/article/view/29281REVER: Journal for the Study of Religion; Vol. 16 No. 2 (2016): Nova Era: aportes teóricos e situacionais; 31-54REVER: Revista de Estudos da Religião; v. 16 n. 2 (2016): Nova Era: aportes teóricos e situacionais; 31-541677-1222reponame:Rever (São Paulo.
