Abstract:

This article presents a critical reflection on the conceptual perspectives in mental health, in search of new meanings for this concept and its implications in the context of the construction of peace in Colombia. For this, an integrative review of the literature was carried-out, through seven bibliographic databases and search engines. As a result, five conceptual perspectives of mental health were identified: 1) biomedical and behavioral, 2) of wellness and potentials, 3) cultural, 4) psychosocial and 5) based on social determination, whose epistemological foundations, contributions, critics, and limitations are described in each case. Finding more pertinence in the proposal of mental healthcollective health/social medicine rather thanthe classic public health for the construction of peace in Colombia, we propose a comprehensive view of mental health that takes into account its social-cultural relevancea critical and socio-historical position.
