Health care in the territory at the interface between Mental Health and Family Health Strategy

Abstract

This article reflects on health care complexity in the territory of the intersection between Mental Health and Primary Care. For both, discusses the concept of territory, from the contributions of geography and philosophy, stating it in its procedural nature and experimentation in monitoring existential processes that materialize it. This discussion allows us to experience a questioning of clinical practice itself and summon us to the construction of an ethical practice of cultivating the public dimension in the entire health care process. The concept of public is analyzed considering the inseparability of three production processes: production of health, subjectivity and existential territories.
