Therapeutic accompaniment and psychiatric reform: issues, tensions and trials of a antimanicomial clinic

The process of Psychiatric Reform in Aracaju-Sergipe, although recent, is a national reference. The city has a network of mental health attendance well equipped (one CAPS I, one CAPS I/AD, one CAPS AD III, three CAPS III, four therapeutic residences, outpatient assistance, support of a mental urgency and of SAMU, articulation of care with Primary Health) and based on principles of SUS and of the Antimanicomial Movement. However, when this process begins to self release from the fluxes which justified its institutionalism, without expressive involvement of social movements, over projecting desires of conservation among managers, workers, users, community, among all of us, could it be possible to considerate indicatives of Psychiatric Reform institutionalization? This article discusses ways of resisting the institutionalization, highlighting the strategy clinical - political of the Therapeutic Accompaniment, transmuting limits in challenges. Exiting, think about exits, a clinic of experimentation, a therapeutic work exposed to life, here is our aim.
