Abstract

Goal: To understand everyday representations of mental health workers about leisure, drugs and education. Method: emancipatory action-research study developed in ten workshops with 11 participants from mental health services. The analysis was based on the theory of everyday representations. Results: The dominant mentality regarding drug users and drug education was linked to a conservative and prohibitionist perspective. The therapeutic leisure traditionally used in health services was critically represented as a method for controlling users. Conclusions: Adoption of emancipatory leisure workshops is recommended in alcohol and other drugs services.
