COSTA, Rosemary Pereira. Interdisciplinarity and health staffs: conceptions. Mental []. 2007, 5, 8, pp.107-124. ISSN 1679-4427.

This article aims to identify the conceptions that the health professionals, who work in multiprofessional staffs in two health centers in the city of Contagem - MG, have in relation to interdisciplinarity and its impacts on their actions. A qualitative research with 16 professionals was realized in april and may in 2002. The analysis of the interviews tried to regard each professional's specific report, the group of reports of each health center and, later, the sample group. The analysis always considered the city's context. The data pointed to the professionals' difficulties in defining interdisciplinarity and to the consequent distortions such difficulty causes on the professionals' praxis. In terms of daily practice, the professionals reported the dismemberment of the actions and the concept of interdisciplinarity as heading the patients to the other professionals of the staff.
