COSTA, Raíssa Maria A. S.  e  SILVA, Rafael D. da. Between the limits and potentialities: reflections on the psychologist's performance at SUAS. Psicol. teor. prat. [online]. 2021, vol.23, n.2, pp.1-17. ISSN 1516-3687.  https://doi.org/10.5935/1980-6906/ePTPSP13009.

This article begins from the assumptions of Liberation Psychology to support reflections on the role of psychologists in the Unified Social Assistance System (SUAS). At first it outlines, then, it presents the trajectory of Psychology as a profession and Social Assistance as a public policy, to later discuss the role of psychologists in this context, problematizing challenges that present themselves in the current situation and the potential of these professionals' performance. The recovery and analysis of recent historical facts in Brazil evidenced the reduction of the State and the deprivation of historically conquered rights, which have materialized in the dismantling of SUAS, demanding strength of resistance to fight these setbacks from the professionals who work there, which also implies working with the oppressed so that they overcome their alienated identities, with a view of building practices committed to social transformation.

Palavras-chave : psychology; social assistance; SUAS; pedagogy of the oppressed; Liberation Psychology.
