SUMMARY:

The general objective of this work was to analyze, from a psychosocial perspective, the production of meanings about masculinities and health by mental health professionals, through the promotion of care in the pernambuco sertão. Thus, we approach the concept of gender from the recognition of its historical dimension that is inscribed in the notion of "hegemonic masculinity" which, because it is an ideal model, exerts a controlling effect legitimizing a process of male domination over men and women and modes of subjectivation. In this process, gender and mental health are present factors of subjectivation not only in people's daily lives, but also in the context of public policies. However, the promotion of mental health care is still little considered in the formulation and implementation of policies aimed at gender equity. In this research, we conducted a qualitative study and start from a constructionist perspective. The research was carried out in a Type III Psychosocial Care Center, in a municipality located in Pernambuco, and had the participation of five professionals. The information was produced through interviews, which was oriented to the mold of a "daily conversation". This information was submitted to an analysis of discursive practices. In these analyses, we notice an invisibility of the gender dimension in the readings that these professionals produce about suffering or potential illness of the men assisted in the service. In a very punctual way, we identified that some of our interlocutors make use of strategies to approach these men and offer care, but do not seem to consider relevant or determinant the way these men were socialized, from the point of view of gender ordering. We consider that these analyses can contribute to promote a critical reflection on mental health practices and knowledge in order to open up other possibilities of action.
