This dissertation aims to discuss the relation between the new madness care and intervention service which is the Center for Psychosocial Care (CAPS), and the psychiatric view that was built throughout the XIX century. The CAPS that is supported by the precepts of the Brazilian Psychiatric Reform, purpose to combat the asylum assistance for madness model that last long over the centuries, especially supported by the modern period through the psychiatric discourse that look the madness as the object of its knowledge, transforming it into mental illness. The method of research was participant observation which passed through the direct presence oh the researcher on the study field, describing the elements that define the research object, such as: therapeutic workshops, group and family psychology, hospitality, collective or individual meetings and other activities which are part of the investigated service. It begins with a description of the object CAPS II: Santa Izabel, since its inception in Santa Izabel of Pará, in 2001 to its current settings. Then, the underlying precepts of the Psychiatric Reform ideologically governing this service, placing historical references leading to this reform movement, from Foucault‟s theoretical contributions on the transformation of psychiatric power and madness in disease, as well as other authors who seized of this issue within the Europe, Brazil and Pará were referenced. Psychoanalysis is taken in this dissertation as an opportunity to bet on a possible subject tha can succeed and exist, highlighting the Freud and Lacan‟s contributions about psychoanalytic theory of psychosis. Ends with data collected analysis, joined with bibliographic references, demonstrating that despite the CAPS propose a break with the asylum model established by psychiatric knowledge throughout that century, several actions that are supported on that objective update asylum practices that instead of giving a new place to madness, reissuing the imposed confinement on individuals who experienced this subjective experience. It concludes that the CAPS needs to make problematic and relative the regulated requirements by the Reformation and its law, to guarantee against the medicalization knowledge that is as present as before, and then get reinvent practices, concepts and ways of madness.
