This article aims to analyze the trajectory of Nise da Silveira and her contributions to work in the field of Mental Health. For that, we used as a methodology the review of the narrative literature, it was through a construction that took place following a singular, proper and open walk to the possibilities. The search was initially carried out in the database Periódicos Capes, Google academic and SciELO using as descriptors: Nise da Silveira; science and mental health. From reading these articles, based on the references inherent to the subject of this article, we were directed to browse elsewhere. Then, in a second moment, we returned to using new descriptors: Women scientist; Brazil; world. The analysis made it possible to perceive that Nise da Silveira contributed to the mental health area due to the fact of considering a humanized treatment in which the subject is not only affected and diagnosed by a manual.
