Abstract:

The Brazilian Psychiatric Reform proposes a mental health care model based on the implementation of a community-based services network, where the Psychosocial Service Centers (CAPS) play a fundamental role. The report presents the results of a pilot study which aimed to adapt the Critical Time Intervention to the Brazilian context, and to test its feasibility to provide it to persons with schizophrenic spectrum disorders who are enrolled in CAPS of Rio de Janeiro. Methods: The research design included three inter-related phases. Phase consisted in carrying out qualitative and quantitative field work. This phase included mapping out the socio-demographic, clinical and service utilization data of CAPS users, as well as assessing the mental health needs of participants in the study. The second phase consisted in the translation of the CTI clinical manual to included the adaptations made for use in Brazil, wich were based on data collected in the first phase, as well as the training of individuals with moderate education as CTI intervention workers. The third phase consisted of a pilot implementation of the adapted intervention among a group of individuals with schizophrenia spectrum disorders enrolled in CAPS, but difficult to engage in treatment.
