REFLEXÕES ACERCA DO TRABALHO DO PSICÓLOGO NO ÂMBITO DA ASSISTÊNCIA SOCIAL

Abstract

The insertion of Psychology in the area of Public Policies of Social Assistance is still considered recent in Brazil. This study aimed to analyze the work of the Psychologist in Social Assistance. For this, we carried out exploratory studies, through a bibliographic review. One of the main challenges faced by professionals is in relation to the real role of the psychologist in the CRAS and what activities could be developed, besides the ethics of secrecy due to the precariousness of the place, often in scattered spaces and without practicing their function in practice. However, it is important to emphasize that, despite several challenges in relation to the psychologist's role in care, there are potentialities evidenced in the practices described in relation to the public, the network, the team, the media and society in general, as well as many innovations implemented . The reflection exposed and discussed in this work contributes to publications in the academic environment and to the improvement of the practices of the Psychology professional in Social Assistance
