[The experience of someone involved in the psychiatry reform in Brazil].
This report is a descriptive study based on bibliographic reviews, developed in the Health Policies course, a subject which is part of the Master's degree from the University of Rio de Janeiro (UNIRIO). Our objective is to report on our experiences working with psychosocial care, which has been our goal over the last 4 years, with an approach on the strategies adopted by the Brazilian Health Department, directed toward restructuring mental health care in Brazil. One realizes the need for objective interventions in order to make this process effective, such as the construction of a solid and amplified network for mental health care, the municipalization of health services which would reduce the risk of a fragmentation in services provided and would promote participation of family members and society in caring and reinserting mentally-ill patients.
