The mental health staff in an sociopoetic approach: from the inter-personal relationships to the production of subjectivity

Abstract

We aim to notice how the possibilities of subjectivity production are being given inside of the new mental health services using as theoretical-methodological referential an innovative approach called "Sociopoética". The production of the data was made through workshops with the mental health workers of a Day Unit staff. As a result we noticed the institutional, social, economical and personal aspects related by the group as being the most important aspects that compose the frame of its practice inside of the new services. We concluded that the research process has been an important self-analysis instrument, allowing the group to rethink their practice and multiply the possibilities of sense of production for their experiences.
