Abstract

COHEN, Marina Chansky e CASTANHO, Pablo. Impasses and potentialities: matrix support as a care device. Interface (Botucatu) [online]. 2021, vol.25, e200462. Epub 19-Mar-2021. ISSN 1807-5762. https://doi.org/10.1590/interface.200462. The article presents and discusses parameters that optimize matrixing in mental health as a care device. We conducted a qualitative study guided by group psychoanalytic theories. We observed, recorded and analyzed six matrixing meetings between specialist services and primary health care services. The main difficulties found were finding time and spaces for meetings and differences in understanding about tasks. On the other hand, we observed moments that reveal mutual care in tune with the literature on health team and service user relations. We conclude by highlighting the importance of
