ABSTRACT

This study is about the intervention carried out by a group of professionals from the Interdisciplinary Mental Health Team of the Emergencies Department in a public hospital in Buenos Aires City between 2017 and 2019. It arose from the need to respond to a public health problem related to the increasing number of patients living in situations involving homelessness, drug abuse, violent behaviour and criminal background. The multiple facets of this problem made us think about the impossibility of addressing it only in the individual sense of each patient. We were forced to admit that we were facing a problem of a complex, collective, social and institutional order, which the predominant medical model had neither been able to handle nor understand. We sought to include a Jungian approach to this contemporary problem found in large Latin American cities. Amplifying a symbolic base allowed us to understand creatively the complexity of the phenomenon, which could not be read in any manner other than the social and collective.


Cette étude porte sur l'intervention menée dans un hôpital public de Buenos Aires entre 2017 et 2019 par un groupe de professionnels de l'équipe interdisciplinaire de Santé Psychique. Elle fut mise en place du fait du besoin de répondre au problème de santé publique lié au nombre croissant de patients vivant sans domicile fixe, avec des problèmes de drogue, de comportement violent et de criminalité. Les aspects multiples de ce problème nous amenèrent à penser qu'il était impossible d'y faire face seulement sur la base de chaque patient en tant qu'individu. Nous avons été forcés d'admettre que nous étions confrontés à un problème complexe, collectif, d'ordre social et institutionnel, que le modèle médical prédominant n'avait pu ni résoudre ni comprendre. Nous avons cherché à inclure une approche Jungienne à ce problème contemporain que l'on retrouve dans les grandes villes d'Amérique Latine. L'amplification d'un fondement symbolique nous a permis de comprendre de manière créative la complexité du phénomène, dont la lecture ne pouvait qu'être sociale et collective.

Las múltiples facetas de este problema nos llevó a reflexionar sobre la imposibilidad de darle solución si solamente lo enfocábamos desde lo individual de cada paciente. Tuvimos que admitir que nos encontrábamos ante un problema complejo, de orden colectivo, social e institucional que el modelo médico predominante era incapaz de comprender o resolver. Entonces pensamos observar desde un enfoque Junguiano este problema contemporáneo que encontramos en las grandes urbes de América Latina. Amplificar una base simbólica nos posibilitó comprender creativamente la complejidad del fenómeno, que no podía ser abordado sino desde lo social y colectivo.

ABSTRACT

O trabalho aborda o cuidado em saúde mental de crianças de famílias bolivianas em um CAPS (Centro de Atenção Psicossocial) Infantojuvenil em São Paulo. Essas crianças apresentam dificuldades na aquisição da fala e na interação social, e são encaminhadas majoritariamente pelas escolas. A apresentação de vinhetas clínicas buscará articular suas histórias ao contexto de imigração, às rupturas nas transmissões familiares, vivências de desamparo e estratégias de enfrentamento de um lugar social desqualificado. Discute-se a tendência à redução de tais impasses ao diagnóstico de autismo, cristalizando uma compreensão reducionista e dificultando a diferenciação e singularização dos casos. O silêncio dessas crianças e de suas famílias é entendido como efeito dos abalos nas transmissões familiares, mas também como formas de resistência à submissão cultural e identitária.


Este trabajo tematiza la atención en salud mental de niños de familias bolivianas atendidos en un Centro de Atención Psicosocial para niños y adolescentes en São Paulo. Estos niños presentan dificultades para adquirir el habla y desarrollar la interacción social y son derivados principalmente por las escuelas. La presentación de viñetas clínicas buscará articular sus trayectorias al contexto de la inmigración, las rupturas en las transmisiones familiares, sus vivencias de desamparo y las estrategias para afrontar una posición social descalificada. Se discute la tendencia a reducir los obstáculos que se enfrentan al diagnóstico de autismo. El silencio de estos niños y sus familias se entiende tanto como resultado de los efectos del contexto migratorio como una forma de resistencia a la sumisión cultural e identitaria.


This article concerns mental health care among children from Bolivian families being attended at a Psychosocial Attention Care Center for Children and Youth in São Paulo. These children present difficulties in acquiring speech and developing social interaction and are referred principally by schools. The presentation of clinical vignettes will seek to articulate their trajectories to the context of immigration, the ruptures in family transmissions, their experiences of helplessness and the strategies they use to cope with the disqualified social position they occupy. The tendency to reduce the obstacles confronted by diagnosing such children as autistic is discussed. These children's and their families' silence is understood both as a result of the effects of the immigration context and as a form of resistance to cultural and identity submission.


Ce travail porte sur les soins psychologiques (de la santé mentale) donnés aux enfants issus de familles boliviennes dans un Centre de Soins Psychosociaux pour enfants et adolescents à São Paulo. Ces enfants ont des difficultés à acquérir la parole et à établir des liens d'interaction sociale. La présentation des vignettes cliniques porte sur l'articulation de leurs histoires avec leurs contextes migratoires et les ruptures de leurs transmissions familiales, leurs expériences d'impuissance et leurs stratégies pour affronter une place sociale dégradée. La tendance à réduire cette complexité au diagnostic de l'autisme est débattue. Le silence de ces enfants et de leurs familles est donc ici compris à la fois comme effets de leurs contextes migratoires mais aussi comme une forme de résistance à la soumission culturelle et identitaire.

ABSTRACT

The COVID-19 pandemic and the enforced restrictions have harshly affected educational sectors in 161 countries around the world. With more than 1.6 billion students away from normal school life, the crisis threatens the teaching and learning processes and the students' emotional health. Herein, we present the result of a careful assessment of the feelings of over 13,000 students at high school, undergraduate, and postgraduate levels across 36 campuses over 8 subsequent weeks from the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. The results indicate a general low energy level and dominance of negative feelings among the students regardless of their academic levels. We have recorded 5 responses (being anxious, stressed, overwhelmed, tired, and depressed) as the most frequently reported feelings in the time of lockdown. Overall, 14% of those who have reported to suffer from these feelings have also identified a need for professional help in managing their feelings throughout the quarantine period. The current study also presents several strategies to combat the undesirable consequences of COVID-19 pandemic.

ABSTRACT

In Argentina, the National Mental Health Law (No. 26.657), from 2010, indicates that a specific budget is available to carry out particularly significant changes in the institutions where patients are admitted for mental health reasons. Voluntary or involuntary hospitalization in general hospitals is promoted throughout the country, while the closure of specialized mental health hospitals is anticipated. However, some demographic characteristics and the marked lack of accessibility to specialized resources throughout the country allow to locate a well-founded doubt to said proposal, even if the indicated resources were available and even more so, if it is intended to preserve the valuable rights that are in the spirit of the Law. Especially with regard to clinically involuntary hospitalizations outside the big cities. This article aims to illustrate and substantiate this position clinically -with the case of the girl Mariela-, in relation to mental health patients of all ages and to criticize this aspect of the Law, pointing out the risk for users of not creating increasingly complex public mental health systems accessible to the entire population of the country.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Studies on mental disorders prevalence and comorbidity, including suicidality, are scarce in low and middle-income settings. We aimed to describe the pattern of comorbidity between mental disorders and their association with suicidality. METHODS: In 1982, all hospital deliveries in Pelotas (Southern Brazil) were identified (n = 5914) and have been prospectively followed. Participants were evaluated for the presence of common mental disorders (CMD) at the ages of 18-19, 23 and 30 years. In 2012-13 (30 years of age), trained psychologists evaluated 3657 individuals for disorders using the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview. RESULTS: Prevalence of suicidal wishing, suicidal planning and lifetime suicidal attempt was 4.9%, 3.8% and 6.6%, respectively. Suicidal wishing was most strongly associated with having joint major depressive episode (MD) and lifetime suicidal attempt (OR = 26.4, 95%CI:13.9-50.4) with comorbid MD with mania/hypomania (OR = 21.2, 95%CI:6.93-65.1). Suicidal planning was most strongly associated with having joint MD and lifetime suicidal attempt (OR = 44.7, 95%CI:22.6-88.4), with comorbid MD and social anxiety disorder (OR = 30.6, 95%CI:13.0-72.0), and joint social anxiety disorder with lifetime suicidal attempt (OR = 26.3, 95%CI:8.33-82.7). Independently of other disorders, prospective and cross-sectional measures of CMD were associated with higher rates of suicidality. LIMITATIONS: We do not have data on suicide deaths in follow-up and the diagnostic instrument used at 30 years of age was not used in all previous follow-up. CONCLUSION: MD and social anxiety have independent and combined associations with suicidality, and also with they occur with lifetime suicidal attempt and other mental disorders.

ABSTRACT

O objetivo central é discutir a possibilidade de uma ética pertinente ao conjunto de ações atualmente realizadas sob o enfoque da Atenção Psicossocial no campo da Saúde Mental Coletiva. Utilizando o método do ensaio, partirei da análise de algumas proposições importantes sobre a ética na Saúde Mental, presentes na literatura recente, e da experiência de vários anos no campo da Atenção Psicossocial como trabalhador, como assessor clínico-institucional do Ministério da Saúde e como formador de psicoterapeutas. Duas vertentes de análise são consideradas: éticas disciplinares, chamadas éticas da psiquiatria, incluindo uma tentativa importante de complementá-las criticamente sob o enfoque da "ética do cuidado", e éticas fundadas em concepções psicanalíticas do sujeito e seu sofrimento, que destacam as dimensões do sujeito como "entre" social e como "entre" subjetivo ou "entre sentido". Com base nas diretrizes do Sistema Único de Saúde e na psicanálise do campo freudiano, procura-se fundamentar a ética da Clínica na Atenção Psicossocial como ética do "cuidar-se" - base necessária para a construção do protagonismo dos sujeitos do sofrimento na produção do sentido necessário à superação do sofrimento e demais impasses que motivaram a procura de ajuda, e para a possibilidade de seu reposicionamento no "entre social" e no "entre sentido"; componentes da saúde em sintonia com a subjetividade singularizada referenciada nos Ideais socioculturais e no devir desejante. Demonstra-se que essa ética exige dos trabalhadores do campo a superação dialética dos modos de produção de saúde e subjetividade em sintonia com o Modo Capitalista de Produção e seus derivados autoritários.

ABSTRACT

Considerando as dificuldades de realização de um adequado diagnóstico psicológico durante processos psicoterápicos na saúde mental pública, discute-se inicialmente a influência da nosografia psiquiátrica na prática dos psicólogos. Em seguida, à luz do referencial psicanalítico, apresenta-se um estudo de caso com a finalidade de ilustrar o surgimento de hipóteses diagnósticas ao longo de uma psicoterapia e, por conseguinte, a transcendência da mera descrição de sintomas como índice diagnóstico. Concluindo, enfatizam-se as características dos vários marcos e níveis diagnósticos e a importância do diagnóstico psicológico como possibilidade de ultrapassar a dicotomia normal-patológico. (AU)


Considering the difficulties of accomplishing an appropriate psychological diagnosis during psychotherapeutic processes in the public mental health system, initially, it is discussed the influence of the psychiatric nosography in the practice of the psychologists. Thereafter, on the light of the psychoanalytical perspective, a case study is presented with the aim of illustrating the diagnosis hypotheses that come out along a psychotherapeutic process and, consequently, the transcendence of the mere description of symptoms as diagnosis index. Finally, the characteristics of the several marks and, levels of diagnoses, as well as the importance of the psychological diagnosis are emphasized as a possibility of surpassing the normal-pathological dichotomy.
