VIEIRA, Rita de Cássia. The psychologist and its work in the education: a critic that already is not welcome anymore. Psicol. educ. [online]. 2008, n.27, pp. 179-192. ISSN 1414-6975.

This article aims to evaluate the work of the psychologist in the field of Education vis-à-vis the current critique to which it has been submitted. Reflecting about this work in brazilian context, one consider that, although in cases already documented in the literature psychology may have contributed for educational and social exclusion, the work of the psychologist is far from being undifferentiated. One concluded that it is possible that they work may, in some cases, follow the opposite direction and contribute for the educational and social inclusion of disadvantaged students, when inspired by theoretical perspectives emphasizing the social and cultural genesis of psychological phenomena.

Palabras clave : psychology and education; psychologist's work; criticism.
