Pregnancy is a period of great transformations, with changes not only in the woman's body, but also changes in the psychological, family, and social aspects, with the possibility of developing disorders. Concerning psychic aspects, over time a little or no importance was given, considering the current biomedical model. In view of this scenario, the psychological prenatal care appears to complement the traditional prenatal care, turning even more to humanization during the process of pregnancy, childbirth and parenthood. In this sense, this study aims to analyze how psychological prenatal care can be an integral care strategy for maternal health. The methodology of this research consists of an Integrative Literature Review. The databases used were Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCIELO), Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature (LILACS) and Electronic Psychology Journals (PePSIC). The following descriptors were used: “psychological prenatal care”, “psychology and pregnancy” and “psychological disorders in pregnancy”. The results show the PNP (Psychological Prenatal Care) a possibility of integral care to the maternal health, as it is established as a preventive program in relation to psychological disorders resulting from the pregnancy-puerperium cycle, especially in regard to postpartum Depression, and complementary to the traditional prenatal care.
