Open-access The mental health care in Brazil: a reading from the biopower and biopolitics devices

AuthorshipSCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

    This article aims to problematize the mental health care in Brazil in the light of the concepts of biopower and biopolitics, announced by Michel Foucault. The analysis of care practices imposed in the scope of the services that compose the psychosocial care network in Brazil, through articles published in national journals, revealed the mainstreaming of mental health care regarding disciplinary and control populations strategies, limiting the possibilities of rescue of the subject and subjectivity conception in the process of care production to people in psychological suffering.
