Abstract

This qualitative study, using the multiple case
study method, aimed to describe the training in Mental
Health in the Occupational Therapy Graduate Course
of the southern region of Brazil. Data were collected
through documentary analysis of the Pedagogical Projects
and Teaching Plans of the Occupational Therapy in
Mental Health Disciplines and semi-structured interviews
performed with 19 Occupational Therapists between April
and July 2013. Data analysis was carried out according to
the reference of Robert K. Yin. The results showed that the
teaching of Mental Health is carried out in various parts
of the Psychosocial Care Network and that the curriculum
proposed in each course analyzed links the training to the
reality of Mental Health in the regional context. It was
concluded that the teaching-learning process can promote
generalist, critical and reflective training of Occupational
Therapists, enabling them to perform their professional
practice in Mental Health.
