REFLECTIONS OF THE PSYCHOLOGIST'S WORK AT THE SCHOOL INSTITUTION IN NITERÓI (RJ)

Abstract

The purpose is to present the knowledge about the field of action among the various areas of Psychology, School Psychology because it was with the intertwining between psychology and education that the school psychologist emerged in the educational context. A qualitative and descriptive bibliographic research was carried out, as well as field research was carried out with psychologists who work or have worked in the school area in schools in the City of Niterói in the State of Rio de Janeiro. The results, through bibliographic analysis and field research, confirmed not only the importance of the psychologist in the school environment but also that the psychologist does not act with all the attributions that he can exercise, limiting the institution. It was observed that the work of the school psychologist is not yet valued because it is considered a secondary activity within psychology and that time, less important than the clinical area.
