Abstract

Schizophrenia is a serious and chronic mental disorder with a great number of symptoms. It is highly relevant to know in which context the patient is inserted to determine interventions for treatment. Team work aims at organizing improvement in the patient´s life quality. The experience of the multi-professional team is important within attention to the schizophrenic patients through a descriptive, quality and exploratory research. Ten professionals of a Psychiatric Hospital in the northern region of the state of Paraná, Brazil, researchers participated. They analyzed data following Bardin´s method and two thematic categories were identified by content analysis: Experience of the multi-professional team with the schizophrenic patient and importance of the multi-professional team in the assistance to the schizophrenic patient. Results revealed that the interviewed, working as a team, acknowledged their important in the patient´s treatment and that interdisciplinarity is part and parcel to the world they live in, shown in their discourses.
