O objetivo deste artigo é o de compreender o modelo terapêutico construído pela irmandade de Alcoólicos Anônimos (AA) para dar conta da chamada “doença do alcoolismo”, por meio de uma análise dos códigos culturais que operam no processo saúde-doença. A partir de uma pesquisa etnográfica feita em grupos de AA localizados na periferia da cidade de São Paulo - Brasil -, faz-se uma análise dos significados atribuídos à experiência do alcoolismo, com ênfase na linguagem que permite aos alcoólicos encontrar um sentido para suas aflições. O modelo de AA opera a construção simbólica da doença alcoólica e, por essa via, os alcoólicos encontram um sentido para o mal que os aflige, recuperando as relações familiares e profissionais perdidas no tempo do alcoolismo ativo.
The purpose of this article is to understand the therapeutic model of the Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) to approach the so-called alcoholism illness by means of an analysis of cultural codes that operate in the health-illness process. Starting from an ethnographic research made among AA groups located in the outskirts of the city of São Paulo - Brazil -, an analysis is made on the meanings attributed to the experience of alcoholism, with stress on the language that allows alcoholics to find a meaning for their afflictions. The AA model operates the symbolic construction of the alcoholic illness. This way, alcoholics find a meaning for the evil that afflicts them and recover family and professional relationships lost in the times of active alcoholism.
