The main purpose of this paper is to present the result of an action in Psychodynamic of Work, developed within a team of workers of a Psychosocial Center of Attention (CAPS - Centro de Atenção Psicossocial), located in São Paulo, Brazil. It is a specialized facility in mental health attention which prioritizes people with severe and persistent mental disorders. We tried to comprehend the workers experience, their relationship between psychic suffering and pleasure at work, as well as the strategies to gain results, identifying critical factors at work and ways to overcome these difficulties, through a Psychodynamic of Work approach. The creation of a collective space of discussion that enabled the identification and gave visibility to work strategies created by the collective and individual intelligence of subjects in their concrete experience is fundamental to this approach. We consider that the inclusion of workers experience to the improvement of Brazilian mental health public policy implantation allows an improvement of the institutions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
