COSTA, Pedro Henrique Antunes da et al. Implications of the Pandemic for Psychology in Public Policies. Estud. pesqui. psicol. [online]. 2023, vol.23, n.1, pp.115-137.  Epub 03-Mayo-2024. ISSN 1808-4281.  https://doi.org/10.12957/epp.2023.75304.

The article aimed to identify and analyze the challenges and potentialities of psychologists’ work in Brazilian public policies in the pandemic context. It’s an exploratory-descriptive study with a mixed approach. Data collection was carried out through a virtual questionnaire with 123 psychologists working in public policies around the country. The analysis was carried out from the extraction of central tendency measures and by Thematic Content Analysis, in a dialogue between psychology and the Marxist tradition. Results pointed to numerous deleterious effects (objective and subjective) on professionals resulting from the scrapping of public policies and the hampering of their practices. On the other hand, they also pointed out some potentialities that contradict themselves and reality. There is an urgent need for state responsibility to offer better working conditions and to strengthen public policies to fight the pandemic, together with the need for reflection and transformation of psychology and its own praxis.
