This Doctoral Thesis in Social Psychology debates the imbricated and contradictory correlation between Psychology and Public Policy social assistance in Brazil. To achieve this goal, we highlight the enter into the history of the psychological area and the formation and establishment of Modern Science, noting that both almost always have been or are in the service of elites, working in favor of an instrumentalist and economistic logic that overrides the market to the humanities. We seek to indicate how the submission of psychology to this logic, at times, becomes it in the responsible technical that supports scientifically the pre-established screenplay of life in capitalism and the forms of perverse recognition. To understand and assess the implications and consequences of practice developed by the Psychology in the field of public policies of assistance (social emancipation or administration by the people?), we developed a psychosocial analysis that considered issues such as inequality, injustice, recognition, etc., as central concepts. With views to the relationship between theoretical research and empirical reality, we also made interviews with professionals and citizens involved in the Reference Center for Social Assistance (CRAS, in Portuguese) and investigated their identities from the perspective developed by Antonio da Costa Ciampa, that reveal themselves in a way emblematic, because they represent the linkage between the universal (capitalist system of production) and the private (conformation of psychosocial identities and their subjectivities). The relationship between the theoretical and empirical material has demonstrated that the daily experiences of individuals who relate directly with the public policies of assistance are crossed by several factors such as: power, money, bureaucracy, laws, professional guidelines (in the case of social workers) and social injustice, poverty, unequal income distribution, education, health, basic rights, lack of social recognition, moral, emotional and ethical, among others. This allowed us to present a conceptual reflection coming from a theoretical conception of assumptions of critical social psychology that can be used by psychologists included in public policies, especially for the development of a critical and transformative practice in their daily professional activities
