SUMMARY:

The role of psychology in monitoring child victims of sexual abuse in Reference Center for Specialized Social Assistance (Creas in Portuguese acronym) involves teamwork and adopts specific characteristics, which differ from the psychology practice in private office setting, a consolidated model since profession regulation in the country. Psychology's classic approach to this subject involves a self-employed psychotherapist, whose primary focus is on the child victims' intrapsychic aspects. With the establishment of the national social welfare policy, psychology professionals began to work on cases of child sexual abuse that were brought to Creas, demanding a different approach. The research aimed to understand the practices carried out by psychologists at Creas in two municipalities in the Metropolitan Region of Recife in regard to child sexual abuse. This qualitative research was carried out by six psychologists using semi-structured interviews. The Phenomenological Method of Research in Psychology has guided the data construction and analysis. The understanding of the general meaning of each psychologist about their own experience made it possible to identify the overall structure of the experience, which we refer to as articulated practice. The psychological practice facing cases of child sexual abuse in Creas is articulated with multiple social actors - family, team, network. It is featured by contextualized and intersectoral interventions, which have been contributing to the social welfare support for both the child and the family. The professionals point out the weaknesses in policy management, which involves everything from resource allocation to political-institutional orientation, including the poor working conditions. We did not identify any moves by the professionals towards a deeper understanding of this reality and/or actions to change it, even when faced with the challenges found in the service.
