Data were obtained through semi-structured interviews with eighteen workers health and by observing the work process in the teams of the Healthy Family Program of five Regional Administrations in the Federal District. The data obtained from the interviews were analyzed using the software ALCEST, which generated two main themes: the first is related to social representations of the PSF, composed by several classes: the first class deals with PSF as a strategy to change the attention model, the second class refers to the difficulties of infra-structure, and the fifth class deals with family interaction based on medical practice.
