In this sense, it was necessary a historical analysis about the madness and institutions for crazy non­psychiatric, such as asylums and jails. Also from the historiographical perspective, the objective is to understand the Psychiatric Reform movement, which began in the 1970s and is still ongoing, highlighting the weaknesses of the therapeutic model and community health care institutions. This is a research with a qualitative design of documentary character. Laws, resolutions, decrees, literary works, magazine articles, monographic works, dissertations, theses, etc., available on electronic sites and dealing with the subject of this investigation were used as sources. Regarding the methodological theoretical contribution, the documents consulted were analyzed in the light of Marx's historical­dialectical materialist method. The data highlighted, on the one hand, the importance of the creation of psychosocial care centers alcohol and drugs and children in the city of Sousa­PB, as an instrument to minimize damage and promote the resocialization of stigmatized individuals who have long been neglected by the State.
