Abstract
The objective of the present study was to discuss the subject of mental health in a exercise to reflect on the possible dialogues and contributions of Psychosocial Rehabilitation assumptions for the theoretical and practical fields of occupational therapy. Since it is a reference that guides policies and practices in the field of mental health, it is considered relevant to explore Psychosocial Rehabilitation as a theoretical perspective that can greatly contribute to assistance actions in occupational therapy, since, according to literature, this profession has built its practice in this field from the main references that support transformations in mental health. In this sense, the exercise proposed here is precisely one that explores this perspective and its potential (or possibility) as a reference that can support practices and production of knowledge in occupational therapy, as well as to shed light on this perspective for the understanding of the different problems with which this profession deals, whether in the field of assistance or research. There are points of intersection between the perspective of Psychosocial Rehabilitation and Occupational Therapy, which suggests the importance and necessity of investigations focusing on this type of study.
