Communication and mental health nursing<FONT FACE=Symbol></FONT>: theoretical reflections

In mental health, the scope of technical or mechanical interventions is limited, placing the process of subjective interactions and, consequently, the process of communication, as the instruments of intervention by excellence. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to reflect on the theoretical basis of the communication concept, understanding it as a process, in order to empower professionals to assume postures that are more flexible and tolerant with individual differences.
