SUMMARY:

The professional work carried out by Social Workers inserted in the field of mental health, as an object of study, has increasingly become an essential and urgent need for problematization in the academic field and in daily professional life. The apprehension of the particularities that involve this professional insertion becomes relevant in several aspects, because from this reflection it is possible to understand the limits, challenges and possibilities experienced in the socio-occupational spaces that these professionals are inserted in.). Connected to this problematization, it is important to reflect on the competences and professional attributions that are performed by this professional category, which makes it essential for the process of production and reproduction of social relations in the sociability of capital, considering the repercussions in the context of the new morphology of work. From this perspective, the study aimed to analyze the competences and attributions of Social Workers carried out at work within the scope of the mental health policy in the city of Natal/RN in order to apprehend the challenges posed by the new morphology of work. Its locus of study was the devices of the Psychosocial Care Network (RAPS) in the city of Natal/RN, which has Social Workers in its professional staff. The research had a methodological approach of the quantitative and qualitative type, it was based on the dialectic-critical method and developed in three specific stages: the literature review, documental and field research. With this production, the main results were the need for a theoretical-conceptual deepening of the professionals about the proposed problematizations, including the sharpness in the distinction between professional competences and private attributions; particularities in mental health; elements of convergence between the ideas of the Brazilian Psychiatric Reform and the foundations of the Ethical-Political Project of Social Work and on the new morphology of work. Through this research, reflection was also raised on the importance of producing knowledge related to suffering and/or psychosocial illness within the scope of the sociability of capital, given that this process of illness presents complex and multifaceted determinations, which reflect on the materiality and in people's subjectivity and result in physical and/or psychosocial illnesses.
