School psychology has been challenged by the criticism of the so-called traditional knowledge and practices and by the new educational issues. Seeking to open space for reflections and to map current practices, I developed a research-intervention, in form of a virtual course, which included 23 psychologists working in the area. Within the framework of institutional analysis, it was created a field investigation concerning conceptions and ways to work. Here I discuss five questions, interconnected: the value attributed to the area, search/refusal of the identity, conditions of the production of the current conformation and attitudes of the psychologist, and desirable directions for interventions. It was evident that what is presented as impasse could open new possibilities and that, in addition to the legacy received, there is a constructed patrimony. I indicate the need to pay attention to the reciprocal implications on the interface psychology/education.

Palavras-chave : school psychology; research-intervention; practices; interrelation.
