Abstract
This paper presents some considerations for the establishment and strengthening of School Psychology as a field of knowledge and practice. The intention is to discuss how the work of the school psychologist has been represented,bringing us a more critical view in their practice. For this, we present a brief scenario of how this area has been built and incorporated in Brazil and Portugal. We think that the reflections presented here provide ballast for the psychologist in school, enabling the construction of a critical action that incorporates the historical conditions, political and economic constituting the institution, and turns to face it, bet on the subjects and their objectivities as protagonists of their history, their development and learning.
