BORGES, Lenise Santana; TAVARES, Rosana Carneiro; SOUSA, Sonia M. Gomes y PERES, Vannúzia Leal Andrade. Psychology and social policies: contributions from a postgraduate program in Psychology. Estud. psicol. (Natal) [online]. 2019, vol.24, n.2, pp.171-180. ISSN 1413-294X. https://doi.org/10.22491/1678-4669.20190019.
This paper looks at social policies in the Postgraduate Program in Psychology, held by Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Goiás (PUC Goiás) from 2001 to 2018. The bibliographic survey was performed using the Sucupira Database Platform, in which 421 dissertations and 63 theses were catalogued. After the selection, 39 abstracts were analyzed according to the theoretical references in Critical Psychology. Although in a reduced number, these dissertations and theses, with focus on social policies, showed the expansion of scientific production in Psychology, in order to change the social reality. In the purpose of analyzing the abstracts, two categories were chosen. The first one was related to programs, services, units and public institutions; the second category is associated to vulnerability and social risk. Most of scientific productions offered an important aid when implementing or improving social policies in Brazil, and, thus, showed the challenges to be faced.
