ABSTRACT.
This work aimed to describe how professionals operate Singular Therapeutic Projects (STP) in Psychosocial Care Centers. For this, qualitative research with a descriptive and exploratory nature was developed with 58 professionals from seven Psychosocial Care Centers located in three municipalities in the State of Goiás, Brazil. Data collection was carried out through focus groups and field diary records submitted to thematic content analysis. Data analysis revealed the following thematic categories: Work processes related to the Singular Therapeutic Project; Influence of ambulatory logic on the Singular Therapeutic Project. Thus, the perception of the importance of STP for professionals was revealed. However, their lack of organization and systematization, and the STP elaboration did not even exist in some of the services surveyed. We conclude that professionals recognize the logic of Singular Therapeutic Projects as important to reflect psychosocial care, even though the elaboration is still precarious, medically-centered, and the offer of therapeutic activities restricted to the interior of Psychosocial Care Centers (known in Brazil as Centros de Atenção Psicossociais - CAPS). The evidenced reality points to the need for investment in Permanent Education in Health to qualify the work processes developed in the CAPS by the various professionals who work in them, through the systematization of STP, in order to guarantee psychosocial care as a promoter of care in freedom. This will enable greater effectiveness of social reintegration and also the evaluation of the results obtained.
