This article presents some contributions by the psychiatrist, philosopher and anti-colonial activist Frantz Fanon to the field of mental health. The study is guided by an exegetical analysis of his first book Black skin, white masks that sought to identify some key categories for the understanding of his theoretical proposition where the sociogenesis and colonial alienation stand out. The presentation of the results will be discussed based on the author's clinical trajectory and the dialogue with the critical fortune specialized in his thinking. We have argued throughout the article that these categories show the centrality of social aspects of psychological suffering, in which racism stands out. In the end, we used this theoretical framework to raise some questions about the presence (or absence) of the theme Racism in the mental health agenda and in the so-called Psychosocial Care Network (RAPS). |
