Resumen

LEAL, Erotildes Maria et al. Psicopatologia da autonomia: a importância do conhecimento psicopatológico nos novos dispositivos de assistência psiquiátrica. Rev. latinoam. psicopatol. fundam. [online]. 2006, vol.9, n.3, pp.433-446. ISSN 1984-0381.  http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/1415-47142006003005.

The main question of this article is: what is the place of psychopathological knowledge in governamental centers for psychosocial attention (CAPS) in Brazil, and what it might be. Such centers are located in neighborhoods to treat patients with severe mental disorders. In the article, consequences of the hegemony of descriptive psychopathology in clinical interventions at these services are analyzed, as well as the question of whether the psychopathology of the social being might be a tool in the treatment of such patients in their communities.

Palabras clave : Autonomy; psychopathology of the social being; common sense psychopathology; psychosocial care.
