Therapeutic trajectories of children attending a Children Psychosocial Care Center.

OBJECTIVE To describe the unique therapeutic trajectories of children linked to a Center for Psychosocial Child and Adolescent Care (Centro de Atencao Psicossocial Infantojuvenil, CAPSi). METHOD A qualitative, descriptive and exploratory research. Data collection was carried out with five school-age children, linked to a Child and Adolescent Psychosocial Care Center (CAPSi), located in the South of Rio Grande do Sul (RS), from April to July 2016, from the consultation to the chart, observation, field journal entries and by the narrative interviews, which were transcribed and submitted to narrative analysis. The narrative interviews mediated by the ludic instrumental called Map of the Five Fields (MFF) allowed for oral expression. RESULTS Two themes were constructed: "characterization of children participating in the research" and "singular therapeutic trajectories of children". CONCLUSION The therapeutic trajectories made it possible to present the uniqueness of the life of the participants, through the relation established between the child, the territory in which he/she transits and the social context.
