Abstract

This article covers some aspects of the social character of the Psychopedagogy, beginning with basic concepts of this profession / area / science, focusing the professional that works in this field, his / her functions and the scope and repercussion of his / her work in the social ambience.

The statement that the Psychopedagogy has a social value, be it exercised in the professional’s practice – at school, at the hospital or at the company – is justified by the explanation of one of its greatest goals, which is of facilitating the insertion of the person in the social ambience by seeking to develop his / her independence to learn and live in society.

This work discusses school and family issues that are, by and in itself, part of the social context, though on a lesser scale. Thus the psychopedadogue must become a professional utterly conscious of his / her undeniable social function.
