Atos administrativos e políticas públicas na prevenção ao suicídio e automutilação: Uma análise geral da Lei 13.819/2019 em face da responsabilidade estatal da promoção da vida

Abstract

This article deals with administrative acts as useful mechanisms for the establishment of public policies and for the implementation of the National Policy for the Prevention of Suicide and Self-Mutilation. It presents the basic concepts of the discipline of Administrative Law, regarding the subject of Administrative Acts, third sector entities and public policies. It presents basic data regarding suicide rates, along with technical and elementary concepts of the psychiatry area. Critically evaluates the applicability of Law 13.819/2019, comparing it to previous normative acts that dealt with the same theme. The work aimed to establish a parallel between the science of law and the science of psychology, in order to present a criticism of the applicability of Law 13.819/2019, which appears to be merely allegorical from a practical point of view, not presenting effective operationalization in the institution of the desired public policies. It concludes that, although Law 13.819/2019 has been based on a technical support by health professionals, the National Policy for the Prevention of Self-injury and Suicide is a great advance, since it is an ordinary law and addresses the topic, however, it is presented in a generic way, not solving the problem at microstructural levels.
