Resumen
It is intended to problematize forms of participation and political action of psychologists
toward mental health policy in Piauí. The study was motivated through challenges faced by
the local Psychiatric Reform movement, and the one underway in the country, which needs
support technical-assistence and sociopolitical to guarantee accomplishments and to move on
with the complete reversion of the asylum to psychosocial model. The method was based on
institutional analysis and counted with three insertion moments for the field research: a) to
identify historical and political events that configure the local Psychiatric Reform
(documental research/oral memory) and to identify psychologists that act in Mental Health;
b) to realize participant observation and semi-structured interview with 33 psychologists
which act in Mental Health in Teresina; c) to follow the sociopolitical contexts/events of the
local Psychiatric Reform (participant observation and conversation circles). The data were
analyzed considering four discussion axes, achieved through categorization of the collected
material: 1) ways of professional insertion of psychologists in mental health; 2) knowledge
and practices used to act in this work context of the profession; 3) political professional
movements of workers of the reformist local process; 4) political action of psychologists
toward the course of Piauí mental health policy. We concluded identifying that the
participation of psychologists in Piauí mental health finds strength by the conduction of its
macro and micropolitical professional action. The first one follows oriented by the lemma of
social commitment, despite this movement doesn t have equivalence in the transformation of
practices and political-professional postures of psychologists in the daily of services. The
second is constituted in the every day of work, standing to the political action of the
profession implicated with the preservation of the classic modus operandi of being
psychologist. Therefore, it is about the actions that give little sustainability technicalassistance
to the Psychiatric Reform underway in the State, and why not say in the country
