In the last decades there has been much debate about the need for changes in the practices of School Psychology, as an alternative to an individualistic and reductionist model dominant for many years in this field of activity. Despite the vast literature in this area signaling alternative paths, developing work in the counterflow of this trend has still been a challenge for many school psychologists. Therefore the present doctoral thesis aimed to understand the subjective configuration of a school psychologist’s professionalism, in its relationship with the practices of School Psychology, aiming to contributing with reflections that favor new understandings about this area. Therefore, the study was anchored in the Theory of Cultural-Historical Subjectivity, in Qualitative Epistemology and in the Constructive-Interpretative Method. The research was developed over a year, through a case study with a school psychologist working in the Specialized Learning Support Service, of the Federal District Education Department. The interpretative construction involves four nuclei that contributed to the elaboration of the theoretical model and the proposition of the thesis that the performance of the school psychologist in the broad and comprehensive perspective requires, not only the presence of a counterhegemonic conception and of theoretical and operational knowledge, but also the emergence of subjective resources that favor new subjective productions that lead to alternative paths, whose subjective productions can be generated in in-service training spaces, as long as they are based on theory that considers subjective processes.
