Social skills may favor the interpersonal relationship of psychiatric patients, preventing relapses and readmissions; on the other hand, a deficit in social skills (SS) may set up symptoms, effects or risks to the development of psychopathologies. This study develops a bibliometric study of the Brazilian academic production about social skills and mental health. After analyzing sixty-six studies, results indicate that most of the studies were published as scientific articles of dual authorship; the production concentrates between the years 2009 and 2014, coming from researches carried out at public institutions located in South/Southeast regions of Brazil. Moreover, it is noticeable a higher number of studies approaching the correlation between social skills and symptoms of psychiatric disorders in university and clinical sampling populations and the application of the Social Skills Inventory - Del Prette SSI.
