RESUMO
This is an exploratory-descriptive study using a qualitative approach. The framework that based the construction of hypothesis and results analysis were the contributions of French New History and phenomenology, enabling a history exploration and the understanding of the studied phenomenon. With respect to the research techniques and procedures, the author used oral history to analyze time at a psychiatric hospital through the guiding question: How do you feel time at the hospital? and others related questions such as How long have you been here? , How is your day at the hospital?. The aim of this study was to investigate the structures that base time to psychiatric patients with a history of more than twenty years of hospitalization, who did not have calendars and/or watches, as well as to relate these structures to practices, to the traditional hospital culture of denying time and to the possibility of access and changes in mental health services (from denied to an invented institution). The results point out the predominance of time, that although dead, is present even with the lack of conventional connectors (calendars and watches), through nostalgia, eloquent silence, a distance that oscillates from an immediate justification to an aversion regarding the theme. The subjects of this research denounced an interrupted temporality, a lack marked by their institutional experiences but also with elements of their past, in which tomorrow and today, that are the basis of psychosocial care require the re-learning of coping ways with temporal mechanisms that characterize time flow in outdoors society.
