Summary

Introduction

Mental health care advances through the perspective of the principles of Psychiatric Reform, deconstructing knowledge and ways of dealing with the user in psychological distress, emphasizing the subject, family, community, interdisciplinary work and social inclusion. Madness was decoded into mental illness in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century, implying the possibility of lack of Reason, "crazy". Mental patients were unable of the complete reason and free choice; arised the asylum paradigm, so as to isolate the "crazy" in a psychiatric institution because of mental alienation. In Brazil, this paradigm began to be questioned due to: health commodification, chronicity, stigmatization of the mentally ill and working condition, emerging in the late 1970s, the workers in Mental Health Movement, the protagonist in the construction of the Psychiatric Reform [2,3]
