RESUMO

This research aimed to understand how community practical psychologists experiences could contribute to enlarge the psychological practice concept in public health.This study delimited the community centers experiences and income making workshops.This is a qualitative study that applied the phenomenological method to collect and to analyze the data. Six practical psychologists who were hired to work in Campinas health public centers took part in this study. They were available to work in the community centers and the income making workshops. In order to collect the data, non-directive active interviews were used which were assigned by the researcher so that the participants could talk freely about their work experiences in the community. Besides the interviews the researcher also used afterthoughts files about important situations in the community center where she has worked. The results showed that the psychology practice major toward the aspects that transcend the interiority of the person and goings on in collective places is fundamental to the development of the enlarged practice. So, it was possible to conclude that the community centers are places where you can have an enlarged practice that differs from the traditional one. The practice that happens there is the one that doesnÂt back by the symptoms or healing. The procedures are lined up from what is healthy in the person. There were several elements showed by the interviewed that make the community centers efficient to care the mental health so that we can assure its legitimacy practice. The activities in the workshops bring several positive aspects in the peopleÂs life, such as: abilities discovery and competence, autonomy , contratuality , self-worth improvements, remeaning of life experience from creation, possibility to pass from a incapable person to someone able to produce something with social standards. We can say that the practice highlight is its own social interaction that happens in the several workshops, through relationships lined up by the solidarity and respect of the differences. Regard the community centers potentiality for health care and psychiatric reform, we can point out the importance of legitimate them in the health public service from other theoretical systematizations that can show the practice richness developed in those places.
