Abstract

This article presents the experience of an artistic intervention proposed by the Psychology Residency Program in Mental Health at the Ulysses Pernambucano Psychiatric Hospital (HUP) and the University of Pernambuco (UPE) in the city of Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil. Since 2019, we have joined forces to create an art studio in the hospital’s psychiatric emergency ward, in an effort to update Nise da Silveira’s method of responding to mental health crises. For our methodology, we chose the Jungian paradigm to support our reflections in this experience report. Immersed in the work of Dr. Nise and in the images produced at the HUP art studio, we affirm that a Nisean method should be better known and disseminated among mental health services. Nise da Silveira’s work remains innovative in the care of the “countless states of being” and should be revised for the advancement of the Psychiatric Reform and the development of Jungian theory.
