Abstract

ROJAS MACHADO, Mercedes. Mas allá de los criterios disciplinarios: Un estudio etnográfico sobre las decisiones de admisión en un pabellón psiquiátrico-penitenciario en la República Argentina. Pap. trab. - Cent. Estud. Interdiscip. Etnolingüíst. Antropol. Soc. [online]. 2020, n.39, pp.93-134. ISSN 1852-4508.

This paper aims to analyze how institutional requirements and emotional assessments impact the daily practice of a civil team that specializes in mental health within a federal maximum security prison in the Argentine Republic. To this end, this paper delves into the admission stage, where health professionals decide whether to include typified inmates who suffer from a mental condition in their psychiatric devices in order to account for the factors that exceed the disciplinary criteria and define the relationship between psychiatric-therapeutic and penitentiary logics.
