Abstract

This study aims to analyze the discourse of mental health workers on the deployment of substitutive services in the territory. The aim is to point out, in discourse, contradictions and potentialities of the proposal, in order to advance the discussions on the consolidation process of the Brazilian psychiatric reform. The corpus of this work consists in interviews applied to 17 of 25 mental health workers in a substitutive service of a city in southern Brazil. The methodological device which subsidized the systematization of the data was the "axiological-discursive diagram", constructed from the Critical Discourse Analysis theoretical framework. The results show that workers seem to try to prevent the end of the service by itself, despite the contrary movements that reinforce the tendency to isolation, the reduction and a loss of territory. We hope this study can help in questioning the movement of psychiatric reform in the Brazilian context.
