Abstract

The Banalization of Mental Disorders and its Relationship with the Improper Judicial Sentence of Individuals in the Prison System

Highlights

Today's society is marked by a closer look at the specifics of man, but it still shows great challenges related to this
This research aims to examine the relationship between the existence of stereotypes about the need for therapeutic treatments for mental disorders and court decisions that violate the appropriate sanction to individuals according to the psychic health framework
With regard to the judicialization of the social issue, it is understood by the transfer of responsibility from the Executive to the Judiciary regarding the guarantee of social rights, in the interdiction process, causing the deprivation of the interdict with regard to the enjoyment of civil and political rights In this bias, in contemporary Brazil, we can see the configuration of reckless practices in dealing with those who experience the most diverse specific mental disorders (IAMAMOTO, 2008; NETTO, 2010)
