O psicólogo na instituição escolar: relato de uma experiência

Abstract

The reasons for doing the present experiment were basically these: the fact that we consider of vital importance the search for new educational projects which will fulfill the needs of the working class, as well as the possibility of contributing to the polemic discussion on the relevance of the work done by especialists in education and, particularly the school psycologist. This study was carried out in a school which is part of the municipal school system located on the outskirts of João Pessoa - PB. The main object of reporting this experiment is to make it accessible not only to educators concerned with the public schools but specially to those who work in it. Though we have been through some great difficulties during our experiment, we came to the conclusion that it is not only possible but necessary to make every effort to modify the interpersonal relationships existent in schools which are a result of the burocratic way of functioning adopted by the Brazilian educational system.
