ABSTRACT
Based on a work of approximation and conceptual re-elaboration between the theory of recognition and the paradigm of deinstitutionalization, we sought to highlight the features that make it possible to portray the Brazilian Psychiatric Reform as a struggle for the recognition and moral progress of society. Thus, in addition to contributing with empirical material for the recognition theory theses and expanding the normativity of the concept of recognition, is intended to collaborate for the theoretical development of the deinstitutionalization process and for the efforts aimed at reviving the struggles of the anti-asylum collective to transit through structural and conjunctural impasses.
