| Resumo: | In this article we intended to explores the presence of mental health in the ways of Occupational Therapy. For this, werethink some historical perspectives of the field, and after that we present the conception of health with which we have worked and thechallenges of the production of health in the contemporary world, when two forms to see life and health coexist. The first one thinks lifeand health as biological facts; the second one thinks health as a process directed to the possibility of living a qualified life, full of eventsand constituting a peculiar form of existence. Understanding Occupational Therapy as a social practice and a practice of health that usehuman beings’ activities as an intervention instrument aiming at the promotion of health and social exchanges, investing in broadeningthe horizon of active life of its users, of their capacity to create and to act, of their space of freedom and their relations with the worldand the others, we consider that the conception of health able to follow this practice is not only about the maintenance of biologicallife, but also have a deep relationship with quality of life and the ethical question linked to ways of life. |
