title: [The art of doing minimal harm in Mental Health].
abstract: There are socio-cultural and political-economic conditions that favor interventionism in mental health and iatrogenesis. However, the professional, in relationship with the patient, has the ability to reduce harm in clinical practice. This article, briefly, reviews the damage of work in mental health and arises, from the recognition of professional intellectual and personal conflicts, the foundation for a practice that causes the least harm to patients.
