Objective:

Expose quality and dignifying nursing care, despite problems in health care, from the transver-sality of mental health based on the psychodynamic theory of Hildegard Peplau.

Synthesis of the contents:

Nursing narratives contribute to the development of the discipline and seek the identification and growth of nurses in their relationship with subjects of care. Publishing narratives contributes to research from a different study that highlights the experience of the person suffering from an illness process and demonstrates how the nursing profession is key to the recovery of physical and mental health, considering the nursing care process. The training of the healthcare professional and nursing in the care of the patient with psychic suffering is necessary to bring down the stigmas and differential treatments that may affect care. Likewise, the State must ensure the population gets access to mental health services for timely care. Peplau's psychodynamic theory describes the role of the nurse through interpersonal relationships, which become a therapeutic process for the person with a disease.

Conclusion:

People with mental suffering who come to health care face discrimination and inadequate assessment of their symptoms, which prevents an adequate nurse-patient relationship and results in differential treatment and forms of abuse that affect the dignity of the subject of care.
