SANCHO, Karla Amorim; PFEIFFER, Claudia Regina Castellanos e CORREA, Carlos Roberto Silveira. Medicalization, clinical diagnosis, and “treat and street” – networks of meaning at stake. Interface (Botucatu) [online]. 2019, vol.23, e170633. Epub 16-Jan-2019. ISSN 1414-3283. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/interface.170633.

By developing a discursive analysis, the authors track the history of the word “diagnosis” in an analytical movement that reexamines its conditions of production and functioning at present, making the effects of medicalization explicit. The study addresses “treat and street”

The approval of the More Doctors Program has triggered a number of readjustments of the National Curricular Guidelines (DCNs) for Medical Education, like the creation of a mental health internship integrated into the health service and community. Due to this demand, the higher education institutions have been encouraged to innovate in their teaching-learning methodologies in order to guarantee a generalist, humanistic and critical professional education.
