CLINICA AMPLIADA PARA PROCESSOS TERAPÊUTICOS EM ADOLESCENTES

Abstract

Health policies and social assistance actions have reduced institutionalization processes for children and adolescents, in view of the right to family and community coexistence. Currently, mental health care for children and adolescents is developed in different health services. In this sense, the CAPSi constitutes the main strategy currently in force in the Brazilian Psychiatric Reform process, aiming at the care of children and adolescents who present psychological distress resulting from severe and persistent mental disorders, and other clinical situations. The present work aims to investigate the practical effectiveness of the extended clinic in mental health as a treatment instrument for children and adolescents. Descriptive bibliographic research is the chosen model for the development of the study, using scientific articles and books related to the subject. As a result of the study, it was possible to verify that the Psychiatric Reform in Brazil provided the replacement of the asylum model by a care network, in which various services and resources for society are inserted. It is worth highlighting the CAPS that offer clinical follow-up, enabling the social reintegration of users into work, community and family based on intersectoral practices, the expanded clinic has the possibility of fully serving children and adolescents, considering that it respects uniqueness of the subjects. The praxis of the expanded clinic, based on psychoanalysis, makes it possible, during the course of treatment, to listen to the unconscious, in opposition to other approaches that aim, for example, at medication.
