Desinserção social e habitação: A psicanálise na reforma psiquiátrica brasileira

Abstract

In a multicentered and interdisciplinary study on housing solutions for persons with mental disorders in Brazil, psychoanalysts have hypothesized that the mode of appropriation of housing is the result of the style of the detachment of this population. Unlike the concepts of exclusion and failure to adapt, detachment refers to the point from which the subject, inhabiting the disparity between language and body, connects with the world. We conclude with a clinical case, holding that detachment reflects the constitutive exception of the subject as a lack in the Other, from which he assumes his name and finds his place - factors that are keys elements in the psychosocial clinic. © 2009 Associação Universitária de Pesquisa em Psicopatologia Fundamental/University Association for Research in Fundamental Psychopathology.
