Abstract

The present article analyses the transcrption of an interview with an user of a Social and Psychological Attention Centre (Naps) in the state of São Paulo according to the institutional analyses of discourse method. It aimed at the study of the subjects constituon through his own discourse, which comprehends his relationship with the institution and the interlocution built with the interviewer during the interview. Focusing on the users discourse analyses - instead of psychiatrical or psychpatologics classifications imposed on the subject- we obtained the outlining of his singularities through the positiveness of his discourse. Another goal was to map the power correlations founded in many constant topics of his discourse, like injustice, violence, doctors, sexuality, medicines and institutional routine. At last, the choosen approach doesnt confirm the idea of truth as an underground entity waiting to be discovered by a researcher, it takes the partnership user/institution as a unique and unseparable production.
