Accordingly, the literature indicates that this population shows higher rates of anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, suicide attempts and deaths by suicide, as well as abusive use of alcohol and other drugs. These disparities may be related to episodes of LGBT+phobia, an aspect that should be considered in the formulation of mental health care. With this in mind, the present study aimed to discuss the production of mental health care for the LGBT+ population in a type II Psychosocial Care Center (CAPS) located in the city of Fortaleza, Ceará, through the lens of intersectionality. To that end, the research sought to: (1) identify the public services aimed at specific care for the LGBT+ population in Fortaleza, in order to understand the availability of assistance for this group; (2) map a specific mental health service within Fortaleza’s Psychosocial Care Network (RAPS), considering the current context of psychiatric counter-reform, with a focus on care practices directed toward the LGBT+ population and their micropolitical implications; and (3) investigate the perspectives and experiences of professionals and service managers regarding care for the LGBT+ population, reflecting from an intersectional perspective. The study adopted a qualitative, cartographic methodology and employed the following methodological strategies: participation in group activities; cartographically inspired interviews with workers and management; a conversation circle with the team; and the production of a field diary. Data analysis was conducted in a processual manner, seeking to highlight the relationships and implications among the field, its actors, and the researcher, from the standpoint of decolonial, intersectional, gender and sexuality, and collective health studies, while also drawing on the perspective of schizoanalytic intervention research. The results revealed that, in the context of psychiatric counter-reform, the service faces precarious infrastructure, lack of essential professionals, and the weakening of collective spaces such as team meetings and continuing health education. Care practices still reflected traces of normativity, cisheteronormativity, and coloniality, which hinder the recognition and inclusion of the specificities of the LGBT+ population. Furthermore, gaps were identified, such as the scarcity of data on LGBT+ users, weaknesses in professional training on gender and sexuality, the delegation of these issues to a single professional, and expressions of institutional LGBTphobia. Despite these challenges, cracks and initiatives also emerged that questioned institutional norms and signaled openness to new forms of care. Therefore, it is believed that this study contributes to reflections on the mental health of LGBT+ people and offers insights for building more intersectional, equitable, and difference-sensitive care practices through collective assemblages.

To do this, it draws on theoretical perspectives in Social Psychology and related areas that discuss race relations, glimpsing in Conceição Evaristo's writing a possibility of writing that allows us to highlight the life experiences of black and peripheralized people with Candomblé, beyond the perspective of survival and reactivity to racial violence. The general objective of the research was: To analyse how living in Candomblé terreiros produces life-sustaining practices in the trajectories of black and peripheralized people. Its specific objectives were as follows: 1) To construct, in dialogue with black and peripheralized people, narratives about their life stories and racialization processes; 2) To discuss, in dialogue with elders, the knowledge and life-sustaining practices that are produced in the terreiros; 3) To write, with initiated people, about healing practices that sustain the lives of black and peripheralized people based on their relationship with Candomblé. The research was based on a qualitative perspective, adopting the methodological strategies of the survivor diary and non-directive biographical narrative interviews. The locus of the research was the Ilê Ibá Àsé Kpósú Aziri terreiro. The participants were chosen according to the following criteria: self-declared black, aged 18 or over, living or having lived on the outskirts of the city and being a child of the terreiro. To analyze the data, we used episodic analysis in dialogue with the writing experience, which made it possible to delve into the experiences of racism in all its complexity, focusing on the biographies narrated. The results indicate that, in the confluences with the elders, the terreiro is a territory of care, protection and subjective elaboration, sustained by its own epistemology, based on the circularity of time, the sacredness of the body and the centrality of the community. These are ancestral technologies of enchantment that confront and resist colonial logics. In narrating their life stories and processes of racialization, the participants showed that the process of becoming black is crossed by pain, but also by power, healing and reinvention. They also revealed other conceptions of mental health, centered on bonds, rites and care for the ori. Candomblé is understood here as a territory of subjective and political elaboration of care, where the body is sacred and the bearer of knowledge. It is hoped that this research will contribute to the visibility of knowledge produced on the margins, recognizing Candomblé as a territory for the production of knowledge, care and resistance. Thus, what was woven into this research was a living memory that insists on blooming against coloniality and a bet on a Psychology that is decentered from the pact of whiteness and is afroscentered.

Theoretically, a comprehensive bioecological model of human development was considered, a review of the consequences of maltreatment in different domains was conducted, and theoretical models of emotional regulation were examined. The empirical stage of the research is quantitative in nature, with a cross-sectional and retrospective design, and was subject to approval by the Ethics Committee of the Walter Cantídio University Hospital. A non-probabilistic convenience sample of 222 participants over 18 years of age was used, who answered online the Emotional Regulation Difficulties Scale, the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, and the Maltreatment and Abuse Chronology of Exposure Scale, in addition to a biosociodemographic questionnaire. Using the RStudio software, scale accuracy indicators were calculated, and descriptive analyses, correlation analyses, linear and logistic regressions were performed. A latent class analysis was conducted to identify distinct response profiles regarding the history of maltreatment. 91% of the sample reported experiencing at least one type of violence, with direct physical and verbal violence being the most prevalent, and showing high co-occurrence among themselves. The quantity, severity, and chronicity of exposure showed significant positive correlations with difficulties in emotional regulation, while the set of experiences of direct violence was a significant predictor of this outcome. Perceived social support altered the relationship between these variables both indirectly (mediation) and directly (moderation), with specificities for the sources of support (family, friends, and other significant people). Two distinct profiles emerged from the latent class analysis: Low victimization and High victimization, indicating possible advantages in classifying the history of maltreatment based on the intensity of exposure. Despite its limitations, the study can contribute to understanding the long-term consequences of maltreatment in childhood and adolescence, particularly regarding the perception of social support from different sources and the functioning of emotional regulation. This research was linked to the Psychosocial Processes and Social Vulnerabilities line of research, which brings together studies from different theoretical and methodological perspectives in Social Psychology concerning situations of social vulnerability and associated psychosocial processes. In this context, the results produced may support prevention and care strategies for people victimized by maltreatment, carried out by mental health professionals, particularly psychologists.

Faced with this issue, it seeks to answer the following central questions: in what ways do the homicides of women in the context of factional disputes in Piauí indicate an updating of capitalist exploitation over female bodies and collectivities? And how is this updating related to a new use and territorial demarcation of the female body amid a period marked by the strengthening of feminist struggles and the crisis of capital? To address this problem, its general objective was to understand the production and organization of lethal violence against adolescent and young women within factional dynamics in Piauí through the analysis of contemporary warlike formats and the historical capitalist exploitation of women. Specifically, it discusses: the relationship between the intensification of factional occupation in the territory of Piauí and the elements present in violent practices against female bodies; problematizes the category of femicide in articulation with the process of femigenocide; seeks to identify the social, economic, and political processes involved in manifestations of violence against women; and to understand how changes in territorial paradigms and disputes among factional groups have been configuring a new role for the female body. The study is guided by an intersectional research perspective and is based on the concept of intersectionality as a methodological and analytical tool, considering social markers of difference as analytical elements of this complex reality. As a theoretical foundation, it articulates the analysis of violence data in Brazil and in Piauí with discussions advanced by feminist authors, as well as the debates proposed by Rita Segato and Silvia Federici in order to think about the relationship between the exploitation of the female body and the development of capitalism. As methodological tools, it employs reports, field journals, and narrative interviews, all analyzed in light of Patricia Hill Collins’ contributions regarding the concepts of intersectionality and the matrix of domination. The dissertation presents interviews with four women residents from the outskirts of Teresina who experience and are affected by the impacts of disputes between factional groups and by threats directed at female existences and collectivities. Interwoven with this, it also presents the modulations of the researcher-woman-body within the researched contexts and the phenomenon under study. The concepts of “envolvida” (“involved woman”), “decretação” (“death sentence/order”), and “tribunais” (“courts”) are employed to problematize narratives surrounding women victims of urban violence as an alternative to hegemonic conceptions, especially those produced by media and police agents. It is argued that the female body, historically subjected to a continuum of violence, has been and continues to be the target of exploitation and systematic control, particularly during periods of crisis and maintenance of capital and territorial disputes. Therefore, it is maintained that contemporary formats of violence, imposed norms and regulations, and territorial paradigms have configured the female body as a body-territory, but also as a body that produces resistance through the struggles and relations of solidarity forged in the outskirts of Piauí.
