Therapeutic follow-up as a strategy for attention in the psychosocial care

The therapeutic follow-up is an important tool for integrating service projects focused on psychosocial care. These actions are work practices as opposed to models of asylums treatment, aligning the proposed reform and psychiatric health. Therefore, it is uncertain how psychosocial care has been developed within the Psychosocial Care Centers, and alternatives to overcome the impasses of mental health network are sought. The objective of this paper is to discuss the possibility of the therapist contribution in psychosocial care. Thus, one can consider that psychosocial care is still in the building process as the basis of the current healthcare equipment of psychiatric reform. Thus, an actor who could act circulating in these different sectors, these different spaces is the therapist, promoting the user's facilitation, integration and joint construction in his/her everyday world and in new cultural /interactional networks.
