Abstract

This study was carried out from November to December 2000, in São Cristovão district, Cascavel-Paraná, Brazil. Ten families of individuals who suffered from psychic distress and were submitted to some kind of treatment in the psychiatric field were observed. It aimed at understanding the knowledge of these specific people about the alternative proposed by psychiatric reform. Texts about psychiatry and the movement of psychiatric reform were adopeted as theoretical references. These texts were used for the comprehension and analyses of the data collected. As methodological reference, this study was based on a qualitative research that enabled us to categorize and interpret these data. Results showed that the absence of psychiatric services make difficult the person´s re-socialization.
