Abstract
The article aims to report the possibilities of production of singularized subjectivity or singularization processes in the service of Alegrete-RS, Brazil, considering the need to identify the proximities and distances of proposed practices and goals since the psychiatric reform related to this service. A case study was conducted whose data was obtained from semi-structured interviews with 11 users and 21 workers, and also from participant observation which totalized 253 hours. Aspects of innovation in practices and dynamics with the purpose to promote thinking, creativity and resistance were found potentiating the subjectivity and processes of singularization of the people involved in the psychosocial attention. The relations built lead to the development of multiple individual, collective and social resources, to a particular way to live in society, respecting differences, desires, kinds of relationship and conception of the world.
