This study aimed to examine the Psychiatric Nursing/Mental Health Education in public nursing courses in the State of São Paulo, Brazil, and investigate and analyze the educational practice of professors responsible for the disciplines in the area. Interviews were conducted with twelve professors, whose verification took place through thematic analysis. This is a qualitative research. Results show that the professors are, mostly, unaware of the Pedagogical Political Project of the undergraduate courses in which they are inserted, the teaching method is predominantly traditional with desire for changes to use active methods, the teaching content has a primarily biological focus and the devaluation of the profession of professor is also present. Although we can notice a desire for advances by these professionals, we see little investment in their educational training.
