Abstract
In this study we sought to reflect on a research/intervention carried out in a Preparation Course for College Admission Exam, through a proposal of School Consulting linked to a Psychology School Service. The Consultancy’s prerogative is to instrumentalize schools by creating devices to alleviate existing problems, stimulating a space for prevention and promotion of decentralized mental health of some of the traditional canons in School and Educational Psychology. In the present study, we sought to elaborate both an intervention and a research movement, following ethnography as a methodological assumption. In terms of results, it was possible to notice that one of the major obstacles to the process of implementing health promotion strategies was the perspective of Psychology as the basis of exclusively clinical demands. In this sense, it was operated in view of the deconstruction of this notion - which involved confronting traditional visions of the problem student and the individual psychological care that was coupled in this traditional setting perspective.
