With the creation of the Family Health Support Center (NASF - in Portuguese), psychologists are officially included in basic health care. This study, therefore, aimed to analyze the organization and working conditions of NASF psychologists. The research included seven psychologists, aged between 29 and 53 years, the majority being female. The results showed that these professionals play the role of support, technical-pedagogical support, as well as the function of administrators of the health units. Participants also pointed out that they face difficulties on their relationship with supervisors, especially regarding autonomy. They also reported having to work amid precarious working conditions and, in addition, under heavy pressure. The reflections and conclusions of this study point to the need to give greater visibility to the activity of the supporting psychologists, paying attention to the issues of work and how this reverberates in the service provided.

Palabras clave : psychology; NASF; work; subjectivity.
