%X recent studies relating to the performance of school psychologists have focused predominantly on public teaching. in this study we investigate school psychologists working in the private teaching system. we base our work on qualitative assumptions, within a historical-cultural perspective. for this, we carried out semi-structured interviews with twelve school psychologists of private schools from uberlandia, in the state of minas gerais. results show that the insertion of these psychologists in the private educational system reflects, among other factors, historical issues related to the constitution of school psychology in brazil, which, in its turn reveals the professional¡äs social image. the works developed by these professionals are predominantly traditional, tending to a theoretical eclecticism, revealing difficulties in the appropriation of more recent contribution in the area. the study points to the need of a greater investment from educational institutions as well as the necessity of school psychologists to broaden their field of performance.
