REIS, Carolina dos  e  GUARESCHI, Neuza Maria de Fátima. Convergences and divergences between Psychology And Politics:: forming, deforming and transforming health professionals. Psicol. cienc. prof. [online]. 2010, vol.30, n.4, pp. 854-867. ISSN 1414-9893.

This article aims at discussing the dichotomization between psychology and politics in both education and practices in these knowledge fields. This reflection has developed from the curricular training in psychology at the Center of Technical Reference in Psychology and Public Policies, in the Regional Psychology Association, in Rio Grande do Sul. Through the activities performed, mainly in actions of Social Control at the Municipal Health Association of Porto Alegre, we discussed the construction and teaching of knowledge in psychology, as founded on the foucauldian thought about knowledge, power relations and discourse to make evident the impossibility of education and practices in psychology be guided according to the perspective of science advocated in Modernity. We have shown the necessity, from the demand in the education of health professionals in this area for SUS, of acknowledging psychological practices as political actions and the need of reflection on the way they influence the subjects’ lives.
