The objective was to follow the working process of a family health team in their regular meetings held to discuss family cases. This study used a qualitative approach, founded on the theoretical and methodological framework institutional schizoanalytic analysis. Seventeen meetings were followed, which counted with the participation of an average of 7 to 8 of the 17 workers participating in the study. The team held discussions on the families, and classified them according to the risk criteria, reviewed what had been accomplished in the meting and searched for action alternatives. There were disagreements when participants faced differences and difficulties to be heard by their colleagues, which were gradually overcome, and made it possible for the members to share care situations they had in common. The team made an effort to analyze the how they take care of the families and to get them to integrate. It was concluded that the meetings favor the production of care and the construction of group work as the team, while delivering care, deals with the subjectivities produced in their practice.
