This paper discusses the clinical practice of Therapeutic Accompaniment (TA), incorporated into the psychosocial care model within mental healthcare and into other such models. The aim was to discuss the process of psychosocial rehabilitation and this type of therapeutic action within mental healthcare, in relation to TA clinics. For this, the paradigms of the asylum and psychosocial care models that are the reference points for intervention practices in mental healthcare were examined from a theoretical viewpoint. These reflections showed the importance of consolidating a care network that makes it possible for patients with mental suffering to have prospects within their lives. This is a challenge to be faced, and the priority should be the subjects involved in this and their context of social immersion.
