Abstract

The Brazilian Health Reform provided greater applicability of local actions, favoring the emergence of successful experiences in various sectors of healthcare. One of these was the creation of Centers for Psychosocial Care (CAPS), which subvert the logic of hierarchy of the health system and are organized joining all different levels of health care. This study aimed to discuss the interactions established between the levels of complexity of the health system in mental health and understand the conformation of the mental health system in the city of Sobral, state of Ceara, Brazil. This is a qualitative study, conducted at the Comprehensive Care Network Mental Health in that municipality. The results showed that the mental health services in Sobral live with different networking arrangements, operating by several care devices that enable the negotiation of therapeutic projects less medicalized, although there is evidence of special attention to the centrality of workers as medication administration. There is great labor mobility in the network, circling the various health facilities, which favors the connections and flows between teams in the construction of lines of care. Connection flows, considered as a mode of operation of rhizomatic networks, operate on mental health under the workers' action, based on the idea that all are protagonists in the care process, and so the movements are shared and articulated between them.
