Mosaic of lives: refletions of socio-psychodramas in public health

Abstract

This paper is based on the experiences of a Psychology training placement with a group of women diagnosed with depression, who are service users of a Primary Care Health Center in a city in the North-West region of Rio Grande do Sul. In the main focus of our reflections is the search for interventions that can liberate roles that have crystallized around this diagnosis. With this in mind, we emphasize the contributions of Morenian philosophy, as these stimulate the development of spontaneity and the rupture of hegemonic social conserves. Thus, we observed how the public environment of the primary care system can be turned into a setting that fosters the human potential, and through work embedded in the socio-psychodramatic theory can further expand general practice.
