Abstract:
This article analyzes the insertion of the social worker in the activity of conciliation of conflicts/family mediation. It points to two central issues that, in our view, point to the (re) update of conservatism: I) confrontation with professional ethical-political foundations and II) the conception of work with families. The professional insertion in this activity depends on conciliatory and neoconservative practices, on the defense of neutrality, from class struggle and oppression, based on a systemic approach of families.
