Resumo
The participation of Psychology in the National Policy of Social Assistance is a contemporary
phenomenon. In 2004, the psychologist became part of the technical team necessary to develop
Social Work. One of the main challenges for psychologists who work with public policies is to
overcome conservative traditional practices in Psychology. This dissertation discusses the role of
psychologists in the Social Assistance Reference Center (CRAS), analyzing how psychologists
started to participate in this space and which assumptions and practices are applied in this space.
The specific objectives of this study were: to identify the theoretical-methodological guides the
work of psychologists inserted in the CRAS; examine whether the training of psychologists is an
important mediation in their professional practice; to identify which psychological practices are
developed in the CRAS; and to reflect if psychologists take into account the theoretical and
methodological guidelines of PNAS and/or social demands. The theoretical foundations of this
dissertation approached the relationship between social policy and "social issues", the history of
social assistance policies and the process of integration of psychologists into it after the creation of
the profession in 1962. A qualitative research was conducted with six psychologists being
interviewed about their ideas and practices. For the interviews it was applied a semi-structured
guide in order to explore the objectives of this research. Content analysis resulted in the following
issues: a technicist psychological practice which focus only individual issues; development of
collective activities excluding a critical approach over "social issues"; psychological training that
is unable to tackle the demands necessary to work inside a CRAS; theoretical and methodological
references are restricted to regulatory and official documents; working conditions of psychologists
(lack of public tender, lack of equipment and adequate physical infrastructure); hope of the
psychologists in the process of social transformation of the reality related to the work with families
inside the CRAS. These results can contribute to critical reflection on the limits and possibilities
that emanate from the relationship between Psychology and Social Assistance and on how this
relationship can contribute to the efforts for emancipation.
