Open-access The small "Capoeira Workshop" group in the context of psychiatric reform

The Capoeira workshop was formed from the need to strengthen the relationship between the Hospital Psiquiátrico São Pedro and the Vila São Pedro neighborhood, considering the construction of the Residential Therapeutic Services unit in the neighborhood. Composed of local residents and users of the hospital, the workshop was chosen as an object of study due to its uniqueness, its diversity and for the way it places psychiatric reform in context. The study aimed to understand how the small Capoeira Workshop group is produced and organized. The principal theoretical reference for the study was the Complexity Paradigm of Edgar Morin. The data was collected from observations and notations in a field notebook. Study participants included the subjects who composed the Capoeira Workshop. This created other possibilities for intervention in small groups in the context of psychiatric reform. Nevertheless, we need to experience the heterogeneity and the uncertainty of the system as a possibility for the production of creative subjects.
