Research:
Julio is interested in mental health, psychiatry, and care. His project focuses on psychiatry, the state, and the current community mental health reform in Peru. Julio studies how the community mental health model is translated and executed by psychiatrists. This model can also be conceptualized as an extension of the state and psychiatric power. At the same time, he wants to explore how this reform generates and mobilizes new fears/anxieties and forms of compliance/resistance within the population.
