RESUMO

This study has as the main objective to contribute to the reflection about the use of labor in the rehabilitative proposition of deinstitutionalization in the context of the Brazilian Psychiatric Reform, looking for the understanding of the meaning of work and some conceptions that guide the experiences of work in the field of mental health. Therefore, the object of this research are the workshops that are guided by the cooperative work, understood as a possibility to subvert the excluding and normative logic of the relation of work and mental health that ruled historically the relation society/madness and the institutions (assistant, juridical, social, cultural) that imbued of this logic victimized people with mental distress, culminated with several kinds of violence and dehumanization. To understand this process of complex transformation, we substantiated the study with the dialectical approach, once it makes possible the search for the essence of work by its expression in aspect, understanding it as something in permanent dialectical movement, carried of conflicts and contradictions. For the authors of this approach, work is considered as a central element of reality, but it must be understood as historically determined and only by its totality we can understand its particular form, in this research, at the workshops of a mental health assistance created in the middle of the process of the psychiatric reform of Campinas. We also used the concepts of deinstitutionalization, psychosocial rehabilitation and social cooperativeness, seeking to articulate them with the analytical category of Work and its expressions (alienation, emancipation and working process) by the light of the Marxist conception, that delimitate the data analysis. The data collection was carried out essentially by semi-structured interviews with the manager and the coordinators of the workshops. The data were submitted to the thematic analysis originating the following empirical categories: institutional project, structuring mode of the service, process of working in mental health and conceptions about psychosocial rehabilitation, work and social cooperativeness. The analysis revealed the existence of contradictions and conflicts that reflect especially the techno-assistant models in dispute, that in their turn, are determined by totality, by the opposite interests of the class struggle in society, especially about the processes of work that intend concrete changes in the life of the users on their emancipation. We pointed out the need of subversion of the logic of the dependant and alienated therapeutic work to transform the material and subjective production and reproduction of the subjects protagonists of these changes, users, familiars and workers in metal health, who necessarily go through the consciousness of everyone about the evident or latent mechanisms of oppression and domination still present in social relations, from the most singular to the structural ones
