The aim of this study was to investigate the demand of patients with mental disorders (PTM) in the process of pyschosocial rehabilitation and what it concerns to daily care, the relationship with society, the setting out to the clinic and the traffic around the city. Besides that, knowing their relatives’ (caregiver) difficulties in this process and how much the therapeutic accompaniment/TA would aid them. The TA consists in a practice done beyond the indoor hospital spaces, usually in public places of the city. It means that the street, as a therapeutic space of the TA, would decrease the time spent by the usuaries at home and the dependence about their caregivers, which have the responsibilities shared with the TA. The passage function of this practice would also contribute to disconstruct pictures already established by the usuary and the production of new ranges of perception, which means, to experience events.
