FREIRE, Mayara Limeira  and  ALBERTO, Maria de Fátima Pereira. Specialized reference center for social assistance: organizational support for the psychologist's practice. Cad. psicol. soc. trab. [online]. 2013, vol.16, n.2, pp. 167-182. ISSN 1516-3717.

The objective of this article is to analyze, from a professional of Psychology perspective, the organizational support offered by the regional Specialized Reference Centers for Social Assistance in the State of Paraíba, Brazil, to the activities performed by these professionals in the fight against sexual violence on children and teenagers. Eleven professionals were interviewed, and the interviews followed an individual semi-structured format. The analysis of the data was made using the Alceste software, through a descending hierarchical analysis. The data obtained from the classes given by the Dendrogram pertained to the following aspects: the lack of infrastructure of the CREAS and support to professionals; the need of a building belonging to CREAS; exchange of experiences during training; and organizational support offered by CREAS for the psychologist's practice. Results show that the support either does not exist or is insufficient, as well as the training offered by the State, the academic formation in behalf of public policies and the assurance of the children and teenagers rights.

Keywords : Organizational support; Social assistance; Professional of psychology.
