In this issue of Revista Mental, I would like to take the opportunity to draw some considerations about the decisions made in regards to Resolution 196/96, which guides the conduction of research with the use of human beings. These decisions were made during a meeting coordinated by the National Research Ethics Committee (NREC), the National Health Council (NHC), and the Ministry of Health. The gathering took place in the city of São Paulo from September 20th to the 22nd, with the participation of members from several human research ethics committees. On this occasion, among other decisions, the new Regimental Resolution was established. The purpose of the meeting was to update Resolution 196/96's legal clauses taking into consideration unconditional principles of preservation of the rights of individuals who participate in scientific research conducted in Brazil. The reformulation rests on an important tripod that dictates the protection of human beings: the Nuremberg Code, named after the German city in which it was signed in 1947 after the end of World War II (1939-1945), the 1948 Declaration of Human Rights, signed by Brazil, and the 2005 Universal Declaration of Bioethics and Human Rights, in addition to other related documents. Thus, the reformulation abides by the Brazilian 1988 Federative Constitution and by its correlate legislation. Considering Brazil's role in the global scenario in relation to the protection of individuals who participate in research projects, Resolution 196/2012, which seeks to improve organizational aspects of the Research Ethics Committee (REC)/NREC system, cannot ignore the ethical references presented. The new resolution was publicly consolidated in this historical meeting, represented by more than 500 REC and NREC members, following the attested consistency of the documents cited and endorsed by means of enquiries directed towards researchers and representatives of research participants through 18 documents elaborated by represented institutions and more than 1800 proposals, subject to change over the course of time, submitted to the National Health Council's website on behalf of NREC. Regarding the Resolution's guidelines, the achievements were many. Although ideal principles for the conduction of research in human and social sciences were not achieved to the degree we would have liked, it cannot be denied that significant advances have been made. Therefore, we, psychologists, have the duty of keeping the debates concerning the current legislation flowing through the pertinent means available, so that we can contribute to and legitimate studies on psychology alongside NREC. These considerations cause new guidelines to be in effect in the norms of publication of research results that involve human beings in Revista Mental, starting with the articles submitted by authors that want their work to be analyzed for possible publication already in the first semester of 2014. When displaying research results, the articles must be submitted together with a copy of the research project protocol approved by an Ethics Committee accredited by the National Research Ethics Committee (NREC). Likewise, when studies involve animals, we require a protocol enclosed by Ethics Committees that analyze projects that involve animal experiments. These initiatives, proposed by the editor of Revista Mental, consolidate guidelines that have already been adopted by a large number of Brazilian and, especially, international reviews, thus reinforcing the principles that govern international science in regards to scientific production and communication.

A través de este número de la Revista Mental, me gustaría aprovechar la oportunidad para hacer algunas consideraciones sobre decisiones tomadas en relación a la Resolución 196/96 sobre ética en investigaciones con seres humanos, en reunión coordinada por la Comissão Nacional de Ética em Pesquisa (CONEP), Conselho Nacional de Saúde (CNS) y Ministerio de Salud, acontecida en la ciudad de São Paulo entre los días 20 a 22 de setiembre con miembros de los comités de ética en investigación con humanos. En ocasión del encuentro fue establecida, entre otras decisiones, la nueva Resolución Reglamentaria. El encuentro tuvo como objetivo actualizar los marcos legales de la Resolución 196/96, considerando los principios incondicionales de la preservación de los derechos de los participantes de las investigaciones científicas desarrolladas en el Brasil. La reformulación ampara sus principios en un importante trípode que regula la protección de los seres humanos, en los principios del Tratado en el Código de Nuremberg, firmado en la ciudad del mismo nombre en Alemania en 1947 después del final de la segunda gran guerra (1939-1945): la Declaración de los Derechos Humanos de 1948, en que el Brasil fue signatario, y la Declaración Universal sobre Bioética y Derechos Humanos de 2005 y documentos afines, cumpliendo las disposiciones de la Constitución Federativa del Brasil de 1988 y de la legislación brasileña relacionada. Resolución 196/2012, que busca mejorar aspectos organizativos del sistema CEP/CONEP, considerando la comprensión del papel del Brasil en el mundo en relación a la protección de los sujetos de investigación, no puede ignorar las referencias éticos presentadas. Se consolidó públicamente en este encuentro histórico, representado por más de 500 CEP's y de la CONEP, la nueva resolución después de la consistencia reglamentaria de los documentos citados y endosados por medio de consultas a investigadores, representantes de usuarios (participantes de investigación), a través de 18 documentos elaborados por instituciones representadas y más de 1800 propuestas, realizadas en el portal del Conselho Nacional de Saúde para la CONEP, pasibles de ser perfeccionados en el transcurso del tiempo. En relación a las directrices de las Resoluciones, muchas fueron las conquistas. Aun no consiguiendo alcanzar principios ideales para que se hagan investigaciones en ciencias humanas y sociales como nos gustaría, no se puede negar que avances significativos fueron alcanzados. Por lo tanto, nosotros, psicólogos, tenemos el compromiso de continuar, en los foros pertinentes, nuestros debates referentes a la legislación vigente, para que podamos contribuir y legitimar las investigaciones en psicología frente a la CONEP. Estas consideraciones hacen que nuevas directrices pasen a entrar en vigor en las normas de publicación de resultados de investigaciones que envuelvan seres humanos de la Revista Mental a partir de los artículos enviados por los autores que pretendan que los mismos sean apreciados para posible publicación ya en el primer semestre de 2014. Los artículos, cuando sean fruto de investigaciones, deben ser enviados constando anexo de la fotocopia del Protocolo del Proyecto de Investigación aprobado por un Comité de Ética acreditado por la Comissão Nacional de Ética em Pesquisa y, en investigaciones envolviendo animales, protocolo anexo por Comité de Ética que analizan proyectos con experimentos animales. Estas iniciativas por parte del Editor de la Revista Mental vienen a consolidar las directrices ya adoptadas por un gran número de revistas brasileñas y principalmente por las revistas internacionales, consolidando así los principios que rigen la ciencia internacional en la producción y en la comunicación científica.

The aim of this paper was to discuss the care provided to patients of schizophrenia, whereas taking into account the effects such people suffer in regards to language. The articulation between theory and Psychoanalytical Clinic was made through methodological strategy of construction of clinical cases, which is thought of as a mode of care offered in a public mental health service. The leitmotiv of this research is based on the exhibition of three clinical cases that will sustain the theoretical discussion of the relationship between Psychoanalytical Clinic listens and transfer. Such elements are investigated from the point of view of Freud's representation theory articulated with the contributions of contemporary Psychoanalytical Clinic also intertwined with the mental health policy of the city of Uberlandia (MG). Palavras-chave : Schizophrenia; psychoanalytic listening; transfer; mental health; clinical case.

The article seeks to reconcile the notion of lacanian delusional metaphor and some conceptual tools forged later by Lacan. One of the points to be raised refers to the lacanian theory of points enough. Starting with some formulation in the field of linguistic, is develping a theoretical path oriented around the concepto f methaphor. Search on the notion point padding a few elementes that are open for the perspectiva mooring sinthomatica. It is therefore to ask whether the pont is simple a node, which is only possible from the extraction of some consequences coming from the later formulations of Lacan.

The objective of this article is to resume and discuss some hypotheses about early mental development and the risk of psychosis made by some psychoanalytic authors concerned with these issues, especially Margaret Mahler, Donald Winnicott, Renè Spitz and Arminda Aberastury. First, we describe and discuss the stages of development during the first year of life which are regarded as typical of normal children's mental development. Next, we approach the question of possible failures in this development that could be associated with psychosis according to the authors mentioned above. Palavras-chave : Psychoanalysis; mental development; psychosis; Donald Winnicott; Margareth Mahler.

This study aimed to identify ways of mental health care operated by relatives of severe mental disorder patients/SMDP living in rural zone located at the backwoods of Paraiba. The research was developed with eleven families in rural communities. Methodologically, we conduct home visits and semistructured interviews. Results indicated the use of religious, occupational, pharmacological and community resources, along to carriers to SMDP. The lack of financial, transportation and hospitalization resources put away relatives from psychosocial support network, especially the local CAPS. This research has highlighted the importance of caregivers and the difficulties imposed on the organization of the network of psychosocial support as accessibility and as resoluteness in rural areas.
