Inclusão da diferença e reinternação psiquiátrica: estudo através de um “caso traçador”

Based on the Brazilian Psychiatric Reform, the present study aims to investigate how the bonds of a subject with his territory may influence his psychiatric readmissions. This research was developed using the user-guide methodology, as well as the “case tracer care” concept to engage in content analysis. We concluded that the ‘protective factor’, which requires further investigation, is related to the diversity of the types of bonds constructed with the subject. We suggest the hypothesis that health services may encourage that diversity if they are able to set up heterogeneous teams.
