This article aimed to collect data about the work of psychologists in the rehabilitation of individuals diagnosed with psychotic disorders in the Community Mental Health Services (known as CAPS) of Santa Catarina State, Brazil. This is a quantitative, descriptive and transversal study. A total of 48 psychologists of CAPS I, II and III participated. The instrument was a questionnaire applied online. The results indicated improvement in undergraduate education to work in CAPS and expanded practices of psychologists (more diversified and less focused on individual psychotherapy service). Despite the progress, evolving needs exist, such as greater focus on external processes to CAPS, the production of autonomy and destigmatization. In services, there is a need for improvement of financial and human resources management, of the services monitoring and of support networks.
Keywords: Mental Health Services, psychologists, psychosis.
