Resumo:
In the 70s in Brazil emerged movements who disapproved the care model hospital centered related to assistance the "mental patient" . Even with discussions aimed at claiming the rights of psychiatric patients there was still no clear model or a structured proposal for the clinical intervention. So with the Psychiatric Reform comes the possibility of psychosocial care be organized in the care network composed by a set of services and health facilities available in a particular geographic territory, be it a sanitary district, a municipality or a regional health. Thus, this study aims to: examine what has been produced on the network of psychosocial care and its operation and specific objective: to identify the scientific publications dealing with the network of psychosocial care. The methodology used was the systematic review; from a qualitative, descriptive study. Using the BVS, a total of 25 articles were found to be analyzed according to the research proposal. After analysis of these works, remaining 9 studies, the LILACS database. divided into two categories: Components of the Psychosocial Care Network and care in mental health and primary care as the organizing center of the network. As a result it was perceived gaps in the approach of some network components such as the CAPS ad. is difficult to track the patient after referral. Some studies have shown the deficiency of continuity of care, disarticulation between members of the network of psychosocial care sectors, and not understanding the proposal within the matricial support services, among others. We conclude that the network of psychosocial care as is recommended by the Ministry of Health still faces several obstacles to achieve the expected results. It is perceived from this work that there is a deficiency in understanding by professionals involved about the role to be developed in different network services and difficulty in articulating the services.
