The problem of poverty has psychosocial influences on human life. Community Psychology works with psychosocial problems that occur in the lives of people in situations of social vulnerability. Then, this article analyzes the presence of the theme of poverty in the papers presented at the 5th International Conference on Community Psychology (ICCP), held in September 2014 in Fortaleza (Ceará/ Brazil). The theme of the 5th CIPC was "Community Psychology in the current world: Challenges, limits and practices" with 1553 enrolled participants and 726 papers approved. The methodology consists of analyzing the theme of poverty approved in the five themes of the 5th CIPC works: Public Policies, Academic / Training, Occupation, Social Movements and Ethics in planetary dimension and in defense of life. The analyzed dimensions were: poverty concepts, psychosocial dimensions and relationship between Community Psychology and poverty. It is analyzed that the axes with more productions related to poverty are Academic / Training and Public Policy. However, the majority of abstracts do not have a specific definition of poverty. There are also productions with monetary and multidimensional approaches. On poverty dimensions, there were used social support, the potential, the fatalism, the conscientization, the shame, the humiliation and the social exclusion. On the relations between Community Psychology and poverty, the majority of abstracts used poverty only as characterizing a context, but there are also productions that act against oppression practices related to poverty and a critical perspective.
