RIBEIRO, Marina Padilha  and  FREITAS, Joanneliese de Lucas. Psychologist's Practices in Integral Management of Risks and Disasters: A Systematic Literature Review. Gerais, Rev. Interinst. Psicol. [online]. 2020, vol.13, n.2, pp.1-20. ISSN 1983-8220.  https://doi.org/10.36298/gerais202013e14794.

Disaster is a complex concept concerning sociological and psychological factors. Its understanding includes risk management and managing the relationship of different groups with their vulnerabilities. Studies on the psychologists' practice on risk and disaster management are recent in Brazil. A systematic qualitative review was conducted to outline the academic literature about the guidelines for psychologists in the field. A total of 14 studies were analyzed using the technique of reading and table classification using the PRISMA protocol. It is noted that there is no consensus on the psychologist's practice and that the guidelines are focused on post-disaster when there is a relevant debate on the psychological debriefing's applicability. It was concluded that it is necessary to expand the studies and improve the psychologist's participation in risk management and prevention withal her inclusion in teams that work not only in disaster management but also in public management.
