MAGALHAES, Julia de Araujo. Clínica do consultório na rua: atenção à população em situação de rua no centro da cidade de São Paulo. Rev. Psicol. UNESP [online]. 2018, vol.17, n.1, pp.14-33. ISSN 1984-9044.
This article presents the practice of the "Consultório na Rua" Program - that assists homeless people in the streets of São Paulo, Brazil - and explore difficulties and innovations of this clinic. Therefore, we made a cartography accompanying the work proc ess of professionals of this Program and identified their knowledge, that where built on the practice of everyday. During the research we realized that there is a gap between theory and practice: the divisions in administrative regions don't take into acco unt the reality of the service and the lives assisted; the lack of preparation, training and taking care of professionals undermines the work; and the bureaucratic arrangements deviate the professionals from the clinic. We concluded that is necessary to fo rtify the clinic of the streets, listen to what the team has to say and include them in the construction of public politics, also to ensure the health of the worker.
