This paper discusses how the notion of childhood is built in the narrative of Psychosocial Care Centers (Capsi) and which discourses on childhood are articulated and extended to the actions for children care in mental health services. It is a qualitative-exploratory research, based on semi structured interviews, participant observations and field notes, from the theme analysis. As results of this process, it is possible to notice a romantic view of childhood which goes through the constructions of care in the health services; the team difficulty in deciding which is the Capsi demand and which does not adjust to the ascribed population in the face of the complexity of the social impact implied by the diagnosis; and the emphasis on medicalization to the detriment in the construction of psychosocial nature actions.

Palabras clave : Capsi; childhood; mental health; mental health policies; psychosocial care; medicalization..
