The Movement of the Psychiatric Reform in Brazil begins in 1970, with complaints of mistreatment and violence of patients, lack of resources and poor working conditions. Considering this scenario, in 2001 was enacted Federal Law No. 10.216, which redirects the mental health care by prioritizing the treatment offers in community-based services and provides for the protection and rights of people with mental disorders. Despite this investment in a national mental health policy, cultural changes in society do not happen in immediate response to changes in legislation and therefore the effects of new mental health practices on the lives of users are not sufficiently known. Stigmatization processes are referred to and conceived as being among the greatest impediments in the progress of the assignment of another social space to madness and exercise as citizens, central projects of the Brazilian Psychiatric Reform. Therefore, given its negative impact on the welfare of the population, the development of strategies to assess and reduce the stigma is considered a public health priority. Nevertheless, until now, studies of stigma of mental illness have been especially scarce in Brazil and other Latin American countries. In order to investigate how the issue has been addressed in national literature, we propose to conduct a Brazilian literature review in national journals between 2001-2014. We conclude that more research is needed to investigate the stigma in the Brazilian context. There are even difficulties including delineate which relational dimensions of users should be concentrated every effort to overcome the stigmatization processes. Arises aim is to refine the analyzes that identify which efforts have been more successful in producing anti-stigma activities.
