LIBANEO, Lígia Carvalho  and  PULINO, Lúcia Helena Cavasin Zabotto. Performance of School Psychology in University: Dialogues with Community Psychology. Estud. pesqui. psicol. [online]. 2021, vol.21, n.1, pp.260-276. ISSN 1808-4281.  https://doi.org/10.12957/epp.2021.59385.

This theoretical study seeks to establish a dialogue between historical, theoretical and methodological aspects of school psychology and Latin American community psychology, which we believe that contributes to a proposal to build a transformative praxis of school psychology in and with the university community. Through a historical recover of the concepts and practices of school psychology and Latin American community psychology, we criticize the individualizing and adaptive practices of psychology, reflect on the professional action committed to the transformation of oppression situations and social inequality and we emphasize the important influence of social movements and Paulo Freire's popular education on the concept of emancipatory education. We also discussed the inventive and participatory methodologies of the psychologist linked to the practices of deepening the awareness of the subjects of the community in relation to their way of life, as well as the interwoven relationship between social transformation, meeting and affection. Other meeting possibilities that we highlight are the recognition of human powers, the search for the constitution of a counter hegemonic sociability in the institution and the participation of all in this modus of being and doing school psychology linking theory, practice and social transformation.

Keywords : school psychology; Latin American community psychology; university; praxis.
