Este artigo visa analisar criticamente a experiência de implantação de um processo de educação permanente pelos profissionais de um Centro de Atenção Psicossocial álcool e outras drogas (CAPS ad) do município de Campinas, SP, Brasil. Os dados obtidos foram coletados por grupos focais com os trabalhadores do referido serviço e a análise do material produzido nestes encontros se utilizou de narrativas.
<p>Questões sobre atendimento à saúde são, atualmente, a porta de entrada dos direitos humanos e dos dispositivos de reconhecimento dos migrantes e refugiados. Entretanto, dependendo de como se entende a assistência a esse grupo pode ser gerado um "desreconhecimento" do sujeito. Impasses surgem ao se naturalizar a experiência migratória como fator de risco que leva à patologia psíquica. Quando o discurso sobre imigração é vinculado a formas específicas de sofrimento psíquico, corre-se o risco de medicalização da experiência migratória e controle farmacológico de problemas que podem ser sociais, políticos ou econômicos. Um desafio é a formação de trabalhadores no atendimento à saúde física e mental dos migrantes para dar suporte ao encontro: é necessário compreender a representação da saúde e da doença no contexto de origem e as especificidades atuais de vida dessas pessoas sem estereotipar a condição de migrante ou refugiado nem silenciar a singularidade do sujeito.</p>
A partir de uma série de experiências de trabalho em situações de desastre, notadamente na região serrana do Rio de Janeiro, Brasil, no início de 2011, este artigo pretende contribuir com a reflexão a respeito da atuação do psicólogo em um contexto de desastres. Inicia-se por uma breve retomada histórico-institucional da questão no Brasil, para, então, apresentar algumas reflexões conceituais e práticas da saúde mental a esse respeito; e, por fim, discutir princípios e diretrizes de intervenção em situações de desastre, tendo como pano de fundo o cenário fluminense de janeiro de 2011. Pretende-se, com isso, argumentar que a intervenção do psicólogo num contexto de desastres deve ser articulada com outras instâncias, contextualizada e descolada da noção de traumatismo como principal operador da clínica.
Until 2005, questions regarding medical treatment and diagnostic information on Disorders of Sex Development (DSD) were not systematically discussed with both the patients and their families; however, the way these patients are currently treated have been changing with time. Interventional changes in the clinical-psychotherapeutic-surgical areas of DSD determine not only different medical recommendations but also help to place the patient and the family into the decisional process of therapy. We must consider two paradigmatic periods that have influenced and transformed the clinical management framework of patients with DSD: a) The "Money era" (1955), which emphasized the role of the gonads as the diagnostic criterion, having the environment as determinant of the sex identity; and b) The Chicago Consensus (2005) phase, in which the role of genetics and molecular biology was critical for an early identification, as well as in building a proper sex identity, emphasizing ethical questions and the "stigma culture" . In addition, recent data have focused on the importance of interdisciplinarity and statements on questions concerning Human Rights as key factors in treatment decision making. Despite each of these management models being able to determine specific directions and recommendations regarding the clinical handling of these patients, we verify that a composite of these several models is the clinical routine nowadays. In the present paper, we discuss these several paradigms, and pinpoint clinical differences and their unfolding regarding management of DSD patients and their families.

We report a case of gender dysphoria (GD) in a 62-year-old genetic female patient, raising the pros and cons of performing corrective surgery later in life. This 46,XX DSD patient was registered and reared as a girl; CAH was diagnosed late in childhood. Poor adherence to treatment and lack of proper psychological management contributed to evident GD. Living for years as a male, the patient applied for a legitimate male identification document in his late 50s; thereafter, he requested a sex-reassignment surgery "to disguise his female body upon his death." We informed the patient and family about surgery hazards, while analytical therapy allowed the group to evaluate the actual wish for surgery. When the wish was brought up, the role of death urged the group to rethink the course of treatment. During the process, it became clear that the patient's desire for surgery, more than a wish for changing the genitalia, expressed an impulse related to issues of endorsement and acceptance of his male identity. This report raises interesting questions about sexuality in a social context and prompts the idea that sexuality is broader than sex itself, raising new questions on the psychological risks faced when considering a body change after years of living with a disorder of sex development.
