Year: 2021
Type: article
Abstract: The purpose of this article is to report on the experience of the Harm Reduction Group developed as a care strategy for users admitted to a public psychiatric hospital in the metropolitan region of Rio de Janeiro. To identify and categorize the most recurring content discussed, this article relies on a qualitative method of content analysis of meeting’s records. As categories: the abstinence reinforced by biomedical model was questioned by peer support work of Harm Reduction Agents; the importance of the family, influenced by the differences in gender roles, and the inclusion of family members in the care strategies; and the use of prescription medications, its risk of abuse by the users or uncritical prescriptions by the institution. Findings have been discussed with the articulation between the Harm Reduction to the Recovery logic and the Voice Hearing Network. In spite of the apparent paradox of the psychiatric reform, the group can be a potent space for adapting the hospital to psycho-social care.
