Studies suggest relationships between work and illness of psychologists working in the Unified Social Assistance System. Considering the importance of the work of Psychology professionals in these services, the objective was to approximate the discourse of psychologists working in basic social protection, in Vitória-ES, about their work and the theory of Clinics of Activity, in particular the concept of professional gender, in order to make possible the discussion about work activity, and the aspects that involve it in the process of health/disease production of these professionals. Semi-structured interviews were conducted, which were analyzed by content analysis according to Bardin. It was found that the possible weakening of the gender of these workers contributes to them not being recognized in their activity, depotentializing health production. It is important to promote studies that seek to understand in depth the professional gender of these technicians and their intertwining with occupational health.
