Abstract:
By compulsory psychological assessment it is understood an evaluation of a mandatory nature, when a person must perform it for some legal requirement, in compliance with some normative requirement. Among the most common examples that exist in Brazil and that apply to this evaluation are those performed to obtain or renew the National Drivers License for Detran, psychological assessment in the public context, evaluation to carry weapons, among others. The purpose of this article is to present an overview of these evaluations and to discuss, above all, the contributions that Satepsi has made to improve these practices. Initially, we present a history of the regulations built by the Federal Council in the last 15 years and for each of these practices, and some of the standards and actions carried out by the CFP for its improvement. Despite clear contributions, it is understood that many investments in the field of research still need to be performed to better subsidize the performance of psychologists in each of these fields.
