Abstract

The study aimed to understand the influence of the health field and its subfields on the health conception of users, family members and health professionals of a Psychosocial Care Center. The work of Pierre Bourdieu was used as a theoretical and methodological framework. The selection of participants (eight) took place through the snowball technique. Data collection took place between 2018 and 2019 through semi-structured interviews. The analysis was based on the concepts: field, habitus and capital. It can be seen that, even occupying different positions in the field, the different agents have the same conception of health, which focuses on the absence of disease and on the responsibilities and particiindividual actions, not establishing relationships with social and collective factors. This occurs, in part, through the construction of the habitus and capitals of the health field.
