BARROS, Amailson Sandro and ALMEIDA, Marion Barros Ferreira. Basic Internship in community environments: Real practice to building knowledge in Social Community Psychology studies. Pesqui. prát. psicossociais [online]. 2019, vol.14, n.3, pp.1-14. ISSN 1809-8908.
This text intends to discuss the basic internship in psychology studies within community environments, taking Specialized Reference Center for Social Assistance (Cras) as the ideal space and the pathway to accessing communities. The discussions and considerations addressed here came from the perspective of Latin American Community Social Psychology. This is a documental research, whose information comes from the forty seven final reports of internships developed by student-trainees of a Federal University and delivered to supervisors at the end of each semester. After collecting and systematizing data, performing content analysis, there were two categories as the result: educational-pedagogical outreach of the internship; practices during the internship; and tension in the relationship theory and practice. Although the trainees´ practices revealed insert them in concrete situations of intervention, but this is not enough for training in Community Psychology. Therefore, this is a challenge the graduation courses are supposed to overcome.
