Abstract:

In this work, we starthumanization policies and its academic debate to think about institutional violence on health services. Based on research on scientific publications in Collective Health, it was observed that violence in relationships between health professionals and users – which is the core of the humanization’s debate – is conceived as an excessive power in exercise of professional authority. Presenting reflexions of Hannah Arendt as a theoretical contribution on the concepts of \'authority\', \'power\' and \'violence\', our objective is to distinguish and rethink these phenomena. Combining these reflexions with the history of institutionalization of health in Brazil, especially the changes in medical work during twentieth century, we conclude that the problem of institutional violence on health services is not based on an excess of authority and power of professionals, but in its opposite. When professional authority is emptied and relationships between people do not occur through power relations, the space for the phenomenon of violence takes place.
