Formação de psicólogas para atuar na assistência social: revisão de literatura sobre experiências formativas em cursos de Graduação em Psicologia

Abstract

This work aimed to produce a survey of scientific production on training in psychology to work in the area of Social Assistance. To this end, it consists of a review of national articles indexed in the CAFe databases published between 2011 and 2021. The words "Social Assistance", "Sistema Único de Assistência Social", "Graduate Course", "Psychology”, “graduation in psychology” and “training of psychologists”. The results show that public policies are still not widespread in psychology training at the undergraduate level and, when addressed, a predominance of health policy is perceived to the detriment of social assistance policy, which occupies a less prominent place in the curricula. There are many challenges for the performance of psychology in Social Assistance, among them, the training that does not consider social policies in depth, disarticulation of the network and stigma of professionals in relation to the user.
