Abstract
Based on the mapping proposed in this study, we tried to analyze the mental health care network, taking a user as analyzer of his own network. The production data was observing the work and care setting, notes in a diary, user's monitoring and interviews with him and with his primary caregiver. The finding of the study that draws more attention is the fact that the user is a major player in building his network, his care, creating from it, new possibilities of existence and producing its own institutionalization, leading us to believe the construction of other cities in the world of madness is possible.
