Abstract
This article presents reflections about the Social Commitment of Psychology, starting from its presence in the technical references published by the System Councils for the performance of psychologists in the Unified Social Assistance System - SUAS and the analysis of the books of deliberations produced from the National Congresses of Psychology. Through the indicators “Social Commitment”, “Human Rights” and “Public Policies”, we seek to highlight the complexity that crosses the psychological practices in the field of public social policies in so far as the guarantee of rights is now configured as an object for the profession. Intending to contribute to the problematizations on the subject, we propose the institutionalization of the discourse of Social Commitment, the processes of judicialization of life and the updating of commitments between Psychology and State as movements that have significant effects on the professional performance of psychologists in SUAS.
