This study tries to understand imaginative conceptions of psychological health, considering that the present work in the field doesn’t correlate psychological health, using Winnicott’s definition, and the Brazilian black women. Therapeutic sessions constituted by dialogical mediators were made with self declared black women, living in suburban neighborhoods, from age between 18 and 29 years old. The data was analyzed using Field Theory, Conduct Psychology and Winnicottian Psychoanalysis. The conceptions characterize psychological health as the capacity, freedom and possibility to express oneself genuinely, in a dialogical relation in which the subject can be understood both singularly and collectively. The ambient needs to facilitate that expression, without racism and other oppressions.
