Abstract

Talking about the history that consolidates the School Psychology within the critical movement to the structure and dynamics of capitalist sociability is a recurring subject, but always relevant. However, understand that the definition about what means the critical action of the school psychologist is not clear yet continues to be an urgent challenge. Thus, this work adds to initiatives which puts in practice, which means the critical role of the school psychologist. Here we present a summary of our proposal: materialize the contents of the critical role of the school psychologist through the concept of limit-situation developed by Martin-Baró in the framework of Liberation Social Psychology and emphasize the role of the school as the place of this action.
