Abstract

The main objective of this study is to reflect the psychologist's work, regarding the subjectivity approach in judicial processes involving children and adolescents. The methodology used was the analysis of content in the integral reading of three legal processes selected by the Prosecution of Childhood and Youth of a medium-sized Brazilian city, due to delays in the processing of cases involving children and adolescents assisted in services linked to the Unified System of Social Assistance (SUAS). The results point out that child and adolescent position in legal processes is marked by an exacerbated concern with the guarantee of rights unrelated to listening to the singularity of each case. It demonstrates the lack of specificity in the practice of the psychologist.
