Pessoas com transtorno mental grave em instituições carceráreas : uma realidade denegada? : de que forma pode a psicanálise contribuir?

Abstract

The research has its focus on exploring the possibilities for psychoanalysis to contribute to mental health care and comprehension of psychosis as structural diagnosis to women in prison. The work is the result of two years after "Criminal logic for women", which approached about a dozen women diagnosed with severe mental disorder in a therapeutic group held in Bubu prison, in the city of Cariacica-ES. The research had as its guiding questions the prisoners submitted to serious psychological distress in the total common prison institutions, as they become phantom numbers in the legal statistics, which makes us think of a denial of that public in prisons. Considering that, we try to answer the following questions: (1) how can a psychoanalyst accommodate these people, is that possible? (2) If a psychoanalyst gets to support a psychotic patient prisoner, can the principles of psychoanalysis contribute? (3) Would it be possible to think in clinical operation of construction means to tack some overflowned enjoyment of psychoses? (4) Is it appropriate, in this context, to make use of the analytical operation in order to focus on the imperative of violence turned to the prisoner herself, to the point she could do it without the prison walls? (5) How can psychoanalysis help to think about the relevance of a new political order, a policy that invests in social ties and, therefore, in a social reintegration of the person as required by law? The research reveals the importance of articulation of the new public policies, with legal support and psychoanalysis as attending services to this public, since there are denials in several areas when it comes to prisoners, especially when they are in psychological distress.
