Abstract:

On second half of last century began in mental health’s world scenery a revolutionary movement: the Psychiatry Reform. This movement aims a shift in mental diseases patients treatment, proposing more humanized treatments. At same time born the proposal of Therapeutic Communities, who later also became an established model of dependence on alcohol and other drugs treatment. However, because the alarming increase of this problem in Brazil, as well as the absence of public policies that solve the problem, there was an indiscriminate proliferation of chemical dependent internment that, also self-called Therapeutic Communities, anything resembled the initial model proposed. These places present inhuman and iatrogenic practices, very similar those criticized by Psychiatry Reform, which has caused discrediting to the Therapeutic Communities model. This article aims demonstrate, through a bibliographic research, how the conceptual and methodological bases of PR closely resemble with de Therapeutic Communities movement, having appeared at the same time and for the same reason, and how the lack of governance of chemical dependents internment places in Brazil has contributed to current discrediting of this model.
