Incorporando histórias: A recomposição do corpo próprio na perspectiva de usuários de serviços de saúde mental

Abstract

This study is about experiences of physical illness in persons treated at public mental health clinics. Through a qualitative clinical approach the role of care is questioned from the users' point of view in a possible participation in the relationship with their own bodies and its contribution in producing new ways of existence in everyday life. We analyze the changes experienced in relationships with the users' own bodies and solutions found for recomposing it.
