This study reflects on the contributions of Psychoanalytic Theory in the specific nature of social assistance policy. This is a theoretical reflection guided by theoretical and methodological assumptions of psychoanalysis. The prerogative of the scenario in question is that the social assistance service, aimed at resolving the demands of users, either pillar that institution. Professional psychoanalytic while CRAS reference technician should be aware about the demand of social rights, this is the main objective of this institution. However, their commitment to the ethics of desire must be based. Differentiating between necessity, demand and desire, guided by psychoanalytic theory, helps us to distinguish what is implicit in the social-demand that is addressed to CRAS. The claim that there is desire, not just need under the Social Assistance, explains to us that there are subjects that institution, not simply users. An institutional practice rooted in listening unfolds in consideration of the subject in place of the agent of knowledge. This listening provides conditions for the emergence of the subject in his desiring condition.
