mental health, ideology, normalcy, adaptation, conflictAbstract
Mental health is not an inherently biological issue, even though classical Psychiatry - with its biomedical foundation - seeks to fit it into those molds. On the contrary, this elusive field of mental health is closely related to ideological and cultural processes. Ultimately, it is more of a social matter, fundamentally intertwined with conflict as a constitutive element of the human experience. That is why interventions in this area raise questions: What is the role of those working in the field of mental health - to adapt or to promote the emancipation from constraints and prejudices? Alongside a practice aimed at moral standardization, another approach can prioritize the power of words as an instrument of liberation.
