OLIVEIRA, Patrícia Araújo de  and  KAHHALE, Edna Maria Severino Peters. A history of the Unified Social Assistance System (SUAS), the participation of the psychologist and possibilities of performance. Rev. psicol. polít. [online]. 2020, vol.20, n.47, pp. 119-131. ISSN 2175-1390.

A historical contextualization of the Unified Social Assistance System (SUAS) will be presented by exploring the approaches with the Unified Health System (SUS). In doing so, its origins, similarities in its principles and in the main guidelines will be considered as well as the particularities of each policy. The article seeks to comprehend the importance of the Psychologist in the SUAS context, and to identify the potentiality of this professional in basic social protection at the Reference Center for Social Assistance (CRAS). Finally, the study explores the possibility of action based on Care, taking as a reference the technologies developed by Ayres: reception, bonding, accountability, and the possibility of (re)construction of identity based on the proposal to promote autonomy.

Keywords : Public policies; Social Work Services; Psychologist; Primary Health Care; Social programs.
