Introduction

As the psychopathological constructs have been

influenced by scientific and cultural paradigms of its time, culture

reflects and determines the way of understanding health and dis-

ease. The knowledge generated is integrated to the cultural wealth

and it continues its development by interacting with culture, thus

the ideas of mental illness and its treatment vary according to cul-

ture and beliefs of a given population in a given time.

Objectives

To propose a framework for analysis through the

examination of cultural products. We argue that this strategy can

give us some clues about how the general population understands

mental illness and the psychiatric work.

Methods

A review of the literature available about social rep-

resentations of science, medicine, illness and psychiatry, through

cultural products analysis.

Results

There are many works that address the presence of these

issues in the social imaginary by analyzing cultural products. In the

field of psychiatry, the analysis of films, literature and music (the

last, in a lesser extent) are the most frequent.

Conclusions

The analysis of cultural products can be a source of

additional knowledge that connects us with the social representa-

tions of our profession and its scope of practice, favoring a better

understanding about what psychiatry and mental illness means for

our patients and general population.

While hope helps to govern the prospects for optimal wellbeing. It

also helps in attaining a purposeful and meaningful living. More-

over, the psycho-religious mechanism through which hope and

religion may be explained, can be connected to the mind-body

interaction, which explains the healing process of the placebo

effect. Based on this paradigm, experts agree that what makes

the healing process of the placebo comes to effect lies on the

premise of how best the effectiveness of the treatment is conveyed

to the client on one hand, and the degree of the client’s confi-

dence regarding the effectiveness of the treatment on the other.

Hence, this paper explore the link between hope, religiosity and

the placebo effect with the aim of redesigning the healing pro-

cess that can be of benefit to both the client and the clinician and

as an alternative means towards attaining optimal wellbeing and

health. Implications and suggestions for future research are also

discussed.

Carnival is considered the most popular celebration in Brazil and

millions of people take to the streets, looking for fun. However,

studies have shown increased consumption of alcohol and illegal

drugs during this period. Ten years ago, Jorge Jaber, psychia-

trist, addiction specialist, created the carnival group “joy without

hangover” preventive alcohol abuse and drug use, carrying the

message that happiness is possible without the use of any sub-

stance chemistry. Band parades annually on Copacabana beach,

in the city of Rio de Janeiro; with the support of the mayor, and

in 2013, brought together several academic and community seg-

ments, besides hundreds of supporters to the cause. In2015, a group

of retired soccer players, the “Masters of Flamengo”, from the very

popular soccer team “Clube de Regatas do Flamengo”, joined the

Band “joy without hangover” with the slogan: “A real ace does not

use crack”, with the support of the Brazilian Psychiatric Association.

The “joy without hangover” is inserted in the conceptual formula-

tion of health promotion, as seen action on the individual, seeking

behavioral change and lifestyle, according to the precepts of Verdi

and Caponi (2005). Thus aims to contribute to change the view that

associates the carnival the consumption of alcoholic beverages and

drugs, showing the dangers of using these substances.
