A construção de formas alternativas de justiça em diálogo com a saúde mental

Abstract

Following the work in the collective Margens Clínicas, providing attention on mental health practices to a population oppressed by political violence and social injustice, we’re taken to question the intersection point between two fields, health and justice.  This article is developed from a critic to the traditional justice as a purely punitivist medium, unequal and which has, as a priority, the maintenance of the capital and the private property. Considering this, we present some alternative forms more frequent, as the Restorative Justice, find in it contributions to a justice practice, but certain limitations as well. It is about those limitations we’re developing a one and a half year research,  whose partial results we present here in the effort of developing an alternative and community justice practice that grounds itself  in penal abolitionism, in a historical materialist critique of the State and in the contributions of pure and applied psychoanalysis.
