This study is the result of empirical research in the form of analysis of verbal reports of ten professionals of a CAPS Belém do Pará, in order to analyze the vision that have the relationship work and mental disorder, more specifically on the impact of changes the world of work in mental health workers who make treatment in CAPS and referring to their mental disorders as a result of poor working conditions and life. An outcome of this first objective the research sought to examine whether the institutional responses would meet the demands of users or restrict the medicalization/administration of their status as "mentally ill". As theoretical and methodological framework adopted the Marxist approach, which allowed a historical and theoretical review critical of mediations involving the relationship objectivity-subjectivity, in particular, the economic and social determinations present in contemporary capitalist sociability marked by job insecurity, increase social inequalities and trivialization of human from the obtaining of surplus value. The approach in mental health work and Seligmann-Silva and Dejours were also of paramount importance to an analysis of the widest possible data collected, in particular, studies of the harmful effects of the work process in the worker's subjectivity. The initial hypothesis of the research, which was confirmed, was that the changes in the working world, from the contemporary capitalist crisis, intensified the pace and working hours, precarious labor relations and consequently all dimensions of social life favoring the emergence of mental disorders and that such a phenomenon would be noticeable by the CAPS professionals. The elements of the world of work that impacted the mental health were: a lack of identification with work, competitive interpersonal relationships, poor facilities, stepping up the pace and working hours, lack of free time and social vulnerability. The survey also revealed that the deleterious effects of the new organization of work on mental health have shown extended to service professionals themselves, whose central element is the extension of the working day. Data on institutional responses show a tension between the actions favoring greater autonomy for users and actions focused on the administration \ medicalization of their status as "mentally ill", but with the hegemony of the first.
