This paper aims to articulate the possibilities and particularities of carrying out psychological embracement in the judiciary. The need for this reflection was presented in the experience of extensionists in two projects offered by a public university: one developed in legal aid, and the other in a program linked to the Public Prosecutor's Office. The methodology we have used was to run a bibliographic query on the platforms Capes and PePSIC, there, we have found articles that structure the embracement in several areas of psychology. The embracement, in the context of the legal aid, has an interdisciplinary perspective that aims to identify not only the legal but also the psychological demands of the subjects. In this proposal, in partnership with the Public Prosecutor's Office, the embracement should occur throughout the whole monitoring of the case, allowing a more qualified intervention on family conflict. In the extensionist practice articulated with the readings we have found, we identify that the embracement is present in the judiciary psychological practice, although it differs from the clinical and health perspectives. Therefore, there is a need for further research and debates about the limits and possibilities of this practice in the justice system.
