ABSTRACT
Resumo Este artigo visa a compreender os projetos de vida formulados por pessoas com experiência de sofrimento psíquico grave e uso abusivo de álcool e outras drogas em processo de desinstitucionalização em saúde mental. Para tal, foi desenvolvido um estudo etnográfico, com finalidade de identificar interações entre operadores de desinstitucionalização, que podem ser entendidos como processos, dinâmicas ou ações que atuam sobre o cotidiano e a inserção social desses sujeitos. Pôde-se verificar que a tessitura desses projetos em direção ao futuro se apresenta como um trabalho de cuidado de si nos termos foucaultianos, em que são manejadas diversas acepções sobre a saúde, tal como concebidas por Fassin (2000).
Resumen El artículo tiene como objetivo comprender los proyectos de vida formulados por personas con experiencia de malestar psicológico severo y abuso de alcohol y otras drogas en el proceso de desinstitucionalización en salud mental. Se desarrolló un estudio etnográfico con el objetivo de identificar interacciones entre operadores de desinstitucionalización, que pueden entenderse como procesos, dinámicas o acciones que actúan sobre la vida cotidiana y la inserción social de estos sujetos. Se pudo comprobar que el tejido de estos proyectos hacia el futuro se presenta como un trabajo de cuidado de sí mismo en los términos foucaultianos, en el que se manejan diferentes significados sobre la salud, tal como lo concibe Fassin (2000).
Abstract This article aims to understand life projects formulated by people with experience of severe psychological distress and abuse of alcohol and other drugs in the process of deinstitutionalization in mental health. To this end, an ethnographic study was developed with the aim of identifying interactions between deinstitutionalization operators, which can be understood as processes, dynamics or actions that act on the daily lives and social insertion of these subjects. We observed that the weaving of these projects towards the future is presented as a work of care of the self in Foucaultian terms, in which different meanings about health are handled, as conceived by Fassin (2000).

@#The aim of this study is to describe the development of neuropsychological research among epilepsy patients in Malaysia so far, the current trend and the focus of future research endeavour. The research in epilepsy grows concurrently with the interest in the field of neuropsychology in Malaysia. Beginning with the presurgical evaluation of epilepsy patients as part of the epilepsy protocols, research areas expanded further into neuropsychological profiling. The current trend in Malaysia is determining the factors influencing neuropsychological outcomes as well as the risk factors associated with low quality of life among epilepsy patients. The future neuropsychological research should emphasize on the effectiveness of neurorehabilitation of epilepsy patients as well as psychosocial and cultural issues particularly on social stigma and employability in line with the research priorities set by the Research Task Force of the ILAE Commission on Asian and Oceanian Affairs for people with epilepsy in Asia-Oceanic region.
