A atuação da psicologia em serviços de internação psiquiátrica : uma revisão sistemática.

Abstract

Psychology, as a regulated profession in Brazil since 1962, has expanded its forms of activity over more than 60 years. Initially guided by individual action, was required from professionals several changes in the way they have been working after the enactment of law 10.216 of 2001 (BRASIL, 2001). Known as the law of psychiatric reform, it directed the model of psychosocial care until then based on asylum practice, centered on asylums, towards a form of action with the objective of social reintegration of patients, through monitoring in substitutive services, with multidisciplinary action. Considering the objectives of psychiatric reform, this study aimed to understand how psychology professionals work within mental health inpatient institutions. To this end, a systematic literature review was carried out following the PRISMA guidelines, with data collection on the Scopus and PsycINFO platforms, using the relevant descriptors. Ten studies were included in the qualitative analysis. It was identified that psychological action occurs mainly in multidisciplinary teamwork, psychological assessment, group therapy, individual therapy based on emotions and expression, and interventions with families. In this way, it is possible to consider psychiatric hospitalization services as places of broad psychological action, where different forms of intervention are possible.
