Expand reflections and alternatives: analysis of housing for people with severe mental disorder in Brazil

Abstract

Based on the assumption that there would be a certain correspondence in the theoretical plan to the numerical and qualitative stagnation of housing options and offers aimed at people with severe mental disorders in Brazil, we analyzed, through bibliographic review and bibliometrics, how the topic has been addressed in publications national indexed in the Lilacs and Scopus databases, between the years 2000 and 2017. We found that the Brazilian regional distribution of the authors is uneven, and the scientific production is still numerically limited, predominantly descriptive and focused on work and support processes. The methodological designs vary little, and the theoretical references are derived from seminal texts that supported the beginning of the Brazilian psychiatric reform. We understand that the findings of this study allow us to confirm the initial assumption that the debate about housing for people with severe mental disorders lacks new theoretical and methodological approaches, contrary to what is indicated by recently released regulations by the Ministry of Health in this regard.
