The purpose of this study is to discuss the evolution of care practices of patients with psychiatric disorders in the city of Natal (RN), through an integrative review in which we found six studies on the subject. We believe that the ideas proposed promote changes in mental health nursing care. Among the conclusions we realized the need for better training of mental health nurses, requiring these professionals to support integration of care in order to  promote the transformation of practices, knowledge and cultural values, impregnated in the routine care of clients and their families.
