Abstract
This article presents the report of an exploratory documentary research that aimed to present and discuss the political guidelines of Psychology, regarding violence against women. The set of guidelines approved at the National Psychology Congresses (CNP), from 1994 to 2019, directs the work of the Council System in guiding professional practice in Psychology and expresses the ethical-political commitment of the category. The methodological path of this study was accomplished by the use of the content analysis technique and was divided into two moments: in 2016, in the analysis of the guidelines developed until 2013; and, later in 2020, using the ATLAS.ti qualitative analysis software, to update the set of approved guidelines. The two moments of analysis involved the full reading of the material, the thematic categorization around the axes: violence, women and gender, and were followed by the interpretative analysis of the researchers. We note that the Psychology debate regarding the phenomenon, by using the listed categories, started to increase considerably from the 6th CNP (2007), in view of the implementation of Law Maria da Penha and, more recently, at the last Congress (2019) due to the prohibition of the gender debate in Brazilian schools. Thus, we observed that the social phenomenon highlighted was present in the content of the political guidelines of Psychology in the transversality in the field of human rights and public policies.
