ABSTRACT Most of the current demands on mental health are issues that once arose from the Psychiatric Reform movement, which aimed to discontinue the mental asylum model in the treatment of patients suffering psychiatrically. Thus, the present research has sought to investigate patients treated at a CAPS (Centros de Atenção Psicossocial), their family relationships and the importance of them during the follow-up in these care centers faced with the challenges caused by the deinstitutionalization. Therefore, weekly visits were made at a CAPS located in a small town of Minas Gerais. From the observations made, questions were raised such as the importance of the family in the therapeutic support, the changes in family dynamics in the face of illness, development of selfreliance, violence occurrences with confinement suffered inside psychiatric wards, and power relations. Among the different themes addressed in this experiment, the importance given to the CAPS and family bonds by the users in the restoration of their autonomy stands out, as well the subjective burdens generated by the demands of care.
