REINVENÇÃO DA LOUCURA: UMA PROPOSTA DE DESPATOLOGIZAÇÃO DO FENÔMENO DE OUVIR VOZES

Abstract

The phenomenon of hearing voices has not always been considered a diagnostic criterion for a psychopathological condition, whose assumption legitimizes the social stigma of madness through the hegemonic medical discourse. The elimination of those voices as the only possibility of treatment impoverishes the integral dimension of the voice hearer and the inclusion of those voices in his life, through medicalization practices still guided by a biologist view at mental health. This article runs through the socio-cultural aspects surrounding the phenomenon, as well as the theoretical dialogue between Psychiatry, Psychopathology and Psychoanalysis. This is an exploratory narrative review, linked to an experience report of a group of Voice Hearers, based on the Intervoice Movement, which aims to provide a space for sharing the phenomenon. Therefore, through the protagonization of voice hearers, it’s possible to propose a depathologization as an important movement to anti-asylum guidelines. ABSTRACT
