Abstract
This research aims to identify how the topic of drugs appears in the intellectual production of Social Work recorded in the Social Service and Society Magazine from 1979 to 2022. It is exploratory, qualitative research based on the historical-dialectic materialist method. Articles eligible for analysis were searched using Keywords, with publication by social workers also as an inclusion criterion. Of the 1.279 writings in the Social Service and Society Magazine researched, only four articles address the issue of drugs as a central theme, including the term or related terms in their titles. Although we note a small number of articles published on the topic, we can see the presence of publications that incorporate criticism of political economy for reflection on the topic, differing from case-based research focused on conservative and/or superficial analyses.
