This article is the result of some theoretical discussions in psychoanalysis about supervision in psychosocial centers for mental health. It begins with two geographically quite distant experiences, then raises the questions about these supervisions under the psychoanalytic orientation and articulates them with the guidelines as dictated by the national policies of mental health. Taking into account other experiences found in the bibliography, it then discusses the main contributions of both experiences: the possibility to create a field for every participant to speak, the specificity of the implied method which made it possible to construct and organize knowledge, greater involvement and autonomy teams, networking initiatives with the territory and construction of the therapeutic project of the users. The aim is, therefore, a possible contribution of psychoanalysis to the mental health field from the perspective of psychosocial care.
