Abstract

From symptom to experience, the meaning of hearing voices hás been changing through out history. However, even today, when the user reports hearing voices, He is lightly diagnosed with some mental disorder and referred for treatment, which, for the most part, is medication. Subjectivity, the content of voices and their interfaces with socio-cultural aspects are not usually part of assistance to voice-hearers. Therefore, the aim was to analyze the presence of socially and culturally established values and stereotypes for women and men in the content of the users’ voices of a  Centro de Atenção Psicossocial II – CAPS II (Psychosocial Care Center II), by reading 389 active medical records. The results demonstrate that the statements present in the content of the voices were some how influenced by social and cultural values and stereotypes, such as violence, the roles of men and women in society and the formation of the female subject from the aesthetics of the body. Incorporating the gender marker in research on voice-hearers promotes a socio-historical analysis of this experience, overcoming the limitations that Psychiatry hás imposed. Besides empowering subjects, considering the life story of people who hear voices and what the voice enunciates through its content, allows the creation of strategies for the development of good coexistence with them, reflecting on the mental health and the live production of these subjects.
