This paper is the result of a study conducted among the family health's program participants, in the city of Bonito, Mato Grosso do Sul state, in the year 2003. The aim of the study was to identity the psychologist intervention possibilities in the PSF program through the opinions of the professionals and the program users. It is a descriptive study with a qualitative approach, using a questionnaire as an instrument to collect data. The results point out that the intervention of the psychologist in mental health helps to provide full attention at the offered health services beyond multidisciplinary actions. We also point out the integration among the health team members, and with the community. It has a great contribution to health promotion because allows developing educative/preventive actions and, besides, contributes to humanize the attention to the patient and their families.

Keywords : Basic attention; Program of Health of the Family; Interdisciplinary action; Psychology.
