This study aimed to analyze the discursive construction of the relationship between therapeutic and religious practices of evangelicals that use services of CAPS I and CAPS II at Campina Grande-PB. This is a qualitative research based on the Discursive Social Psychology theoretical-methodological approach. Therefore, we performed eight narrative interviews, as well as conversation circles with eight users. It was noticed a relation between demand for a biomedical system and the searching for religious services. We analyzed that not only the CAPS services provides care to psychological distress, but religious spaces also. Considering that there is a need for construction and invention of new practices in mental health, it becomes necessary to promote a meeting between Psychology fields with religious knowledge, as well as a reflection on the possible links between them, in an attempt to meet the desires and meanings of mental health services users.
