Abstract

SARTORI, Lecy. Health device, therapeutic management and care practices in Therapeutic Residential Services. Etnográfica [online]. 2018, vol.22, n.3, pp.555-574. ISSN 0873-6561.  https://doi.org/10.4000/etnografica.5914.

Based on an ethnography of the changes resulting from a reform process in the care model governing the psychiatric Health Service Dr. Cândido Ferreira (SSCF), in Campinas (Sao Paulo), I describe the technical and architectural arrangements that transformed residential assistance services into a health device. The starting point are the effects of the rehabilitation process of the users living in the Therapeutic Residential Services (SRT). I analyze how the SRT team organizes the assistance operations in the residences by rationalizing the user’s singularity in terms of necessity and risk contexts, exposing the discourses that justify the therapeutic management and life governing practices provided to the residents in the SRT.

Keywords : Therapeutic Residential Services (SRT); ethnography; rehabilitation; care practices; therapeutic management.
