From a psychological perspective, different techniques have been developed to assess the level of dependence towards the use of the mobile phone, the TDMB test being one of the most used. <em>Objective.</em> The aim of the research was to adapt and validate the TDMB and its relations with impulsivity. <em>Method.</em> 339 adults residing in Argentina participated in the study, with ages between 18 and 65 years (M = 37.66;&nbsp;SD = 12.87), of which 74.3% were women. The evaluation included the TDMD, the UPPS-P to evaluate impulsivity and ad-hoc variables related to cell phone use. <em>Results.</em> Adequate psychometric properties were observed for the Argentine version of the TDMB. Likewise, relationships were observed between all dimensions of the questionnaire and impulsivity, as well as differences according to the age and gender of the participants. The scope and limits of the test are discussed, as well as its relationships with the impulsivity and daily use of the mobile phone.<br><br></p> Marian Durao Edgardo Etchezahar Joaquín Ungaretti Carolina Calligaro ##submission.copyrightStatement## http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 2021-01-31 2021-01-31 35 130 1 17 10.15517/ap.v35i130.41963 https://revistas.ucr.ac.cr:443/index.php/actualidades/article/view/39170 <p><em>Objective.</em> The objective is to identify the contributions of psychoanalysis in the formulation of mental health care practices in Brazil. <em>Method.</em> The method of integrative literature review with meta-synthesis was used in the PubMed, BVS, LILACS, SciELO databases, with searches from 2008 to 2018. <em>Results.</em> The results indicate that psychoanalysis contributed to the notion of structural diagnosis, a new perspective of healing, work with delirium and art, “practice made by many” construction of the clinical case, expanded clinic, and unique listening. In conclusion, psychoanalysis is part of the restructuring and creation of care practices in mental health institutions within the scope of theoretical and technical devices, so the patient specificities guide the treatment.</p> João Paulo Nogueira da Silva Carolina Ventura Silva Janari da Silva Pedroso ##submission.copyrightStatement## http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 2021-03-03 2021-03-03 35 130 19 34 10.15517/ap.v35i130.39170
