Abstract:

This article discusses the political-legal and assistance changes in public mental health policies in Brazil, demonstrating its effects of Psychiatric Counter-Reform. Based on a documentary analysis, it was possible to explain the tensions generated in this process, with its repercussions on Brazilian Psychiatric Reform, as a complex process, especially on the Psychosocial Care Network. As a paradoxical case of Counter-Counter-Reform, the state of Bahia is discussed here, due to its recent proposal to close psychiatric hospitals, in the direction of an announced intention to deinstitutionalize hospitalized people that does not coincide with the moment of the change of policy of Brazilian mental health. It is concluded that the risk of deepening the sanitary, social and economic crisis throughout the national territory demands the increase of advocacy and mobilization measures, in order to avoid losses of social protection mechanisms, which also includes mental health, simultaneously poses a threat to human rights and the inclusion of people in psychological distress, but also as an opportunity to re-energize a reform that was in full becoming.
