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.
