Psychoanalysis, transdisciplinarity and Psychosocial Care

the necessary training of mental health workers of a new type

Abstract

From the structural analysis of Collective Mental Health proposed by Costa Rosa, we conceive that the transposition of the Psychiatric Hospitalocentric Medicalizing Paradigm towards the Psychosocial Care Paradigm requires the dialectical overcoming of the professional disciplines present in this field, opening the way for the formation of workers of a new type. So, we try to advance the hypothesis that presupposes the radicalization of the contributions of Psychoanalysis and Historical Materialism, that are essentially transdisciplinar references. Differently from the disciplinary workers of the hegemonic Paradigm, these new workers must intercede in psychic and institutional impasses in order to operate critical subjective and sociocultural implication of the subjects who ask them for help. We conclude that while the first ones share the ideology of the Capitalist Mode of Production, reiterating the alienating objectification of the subjects, the intercessor workers have as their horizon the support of a praxis capable of putting the subjects in the place of the work to produce the cure of themselves
