Abstract

First book in the area of social work that brings together academic research on the field of mental health and drugs from the perspective of intersectionality, demarcating implications of gender, race, sexuality, class, territory and public policies. It reveals the accumulation and theoretical maturity of researchers from the north to the south of the country who articulate themselves around this debate, to produce this work that includes research and academic productions, in an unprecedented way, filling a gap in the aforementioned area of knowledge and contributing decisively both for training and professional work and for public policies on mental health and drugs in Brazil. There are several themes critically analyzed in sixteen chapters, covering 30 authors, the vast majority of whom are social workers. The work marks the public visibility of the production of knowledge in the area of social work for the field of mental health and drugs, taking qualitative research and critical social thinking.
